Premier League trio Fulham, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are keen on German midfielder Anton Stach ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to multiple reports on Sport Bild via Sport Witness, a host of Premier League clubs are keen on Anton Stach. The Hoffenheim midfielder could have Fulham, Newcastle United and West Ham United as suitors ahead of the summer window, as he remains open to playing in England.
Anton Stach is in high demand
Many Premier League clubs are still looking for solutions that strengthen their squad and will attack again when the summer window opens. The January transfer window was dominated by the lack of activity from Premier League clubs as FFP regulations curtailed the spending for most clubs.
When the summer transfer window opens, these clubs will have much more room to plan their squad, and they will likely attack for recruits. One of them could be Hoffenheim’s 25-year-old German international Anton Stach.
The midfielder has seen interest from Fulham, Newcastle United and West Ham, who may have shown admiration in January. However, they will look for the 25-year-old German international again in the summer, with the report suggesting a price tag of around €15 million.
That alone would entice this trio of Premier League clubs to consider a transfer, as someone like Stach has shown enough talent to help these clubs improve their squad. However, while all three could express an interest, the chances of some dropping out could still be possible.
Fulham and Newcastle United are more realistic than West Ham United
West Ham United agreed on a deal for Kalvin Phillips, which does strengthen their midfield for the future. However, there is a chance the Hammers may not sign the midfielder on a permanent basis, which could leave room for someone like Stach to arrive in England International’s place.
However, Fulham and Newcastle United are considered more realistic destinations for Stach to consider, as there’s a clear need for a new midfielder at both clubs. The Magpies might lose Joelinton and even Bruno Guimaraes, which could make the 25-year-old German international a solid option for them to consider.
Similarly, Fulham might see a revamp of their midfield positions, as they might even lose Joao Palhinha to a European giant. Hence, the duo have more of a chance than West Ham to pursue Stach seriously in the summer.
