Aston Villa and West Ham are the latest sides to show an interest in Bazoumana Toure ahead of the January window, with the winger set to cost £8 million.
According to Fotbollskanalen, Bazoumana Toure has concrete interest from the Premier League, as two new sides have joined the hunt. Aston Villa and West Ham United are the latest in the chase for the exciting left-winger, for whom Hammarby will charge at least £8 million in January.
Bazoumana Toure is creating a reputation for himself as one of the exciting players to watch out for. The Hammarby winger has been in the news lately due to interest from Premier League sides. There are a host of others from outside of England looking at him, but a move to the top tier of English seems likely.
Aston Villa and West Ham United are the latest to look at the promising forward ahead of the January window, as he will be open to the chance to join either. The 18-year-old forward has many other suitors, including Manchester United and ten other sides who have recently watched him in action.
Crystal Palace are also keen on signing him, and so far, the Eagles are considered the front runners for his signature. However, the presence of Villa and the Hammers could make the chase interesting enough for the winger to evaluate his options ahead of the January window.
Hammarby reportedly wants £8 million from his sale, and this might sound reasonable enough for the cash-rich Premier League sides. He might not be the ready-made player these clubs will want, but there’s something promising about his future that has drawn many top sides towards him.
Aston Villa and West Ham are exciting choices for Toure
Julen Lopetegui wants to add more offensive players in his ranks at West Ham, which could give his attacking unit the lift and competition it needs. They have a few young and experienced professionals, and someone like the 18-year-old forward could benefit from the manager’s track record with youngsters.
In this particular chase, Aston Villa might be the more attractive destination for a player like Toure, as their presence in the Champions League is a big plus point. Either way, Unai Emery is a top coach with a brilliant record in developing young wingers from his time at different clubs.
