Crystal Palace and Leeds United are looking to strengthen their attacking unit at the end of the season and have identified Jonathan Burkardt as a target.
The player has 12 goal contributions this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for the two Premier League clubs. He will add goals and creativity in the final third. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him as well. He is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to try out a new challenge.
Burkardt has been linked with multiple English clubs in the past.
Crystal Palace have a strong team, and they recently won the FA Cup and the Community Shield. They are doing well in the European competition this season. They could be an attractive destination for the player. It will be interesting to see if they are prepared to pay up for him.
Meanwhile, Leeds United could be an interesting opportunity as well. They are fighting for survival in the Premier League, but they are looking to build a team capable of regularly competing in the top flight. They are a big club and Burkardt could be tempted to join them.
Where will Burkardt end up?
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can get the deal done for him. The 25-year-old has the quality to succeed in the Premier League, and joining the right team could bring out the best in him.
Burkardt has shown his quality in Germany, and he will look to make his mark in England if the move goes through.
The player has a contract with Eintracht Frankfurt until 2023, and they will not want to let him leave for cheap. According to SportsBoom, they are demanding €45 million for the attacker. It will be interesting to see if Crystal Palace or Leeds United is prepared to pay up.
The player could end up justifying the investment in future if he manages to adapt to English football quickly.
