Boca Juniors will demand a significant fee to sell their hotshot attacker Kevin Zenon ahead of January as three Premier League sides are keen.
According to LM Neuquen, Premier League suitors of Kevin Zenon will find it difficult to sign the attacker ahead of January. Boca Juniors will only let the winger leave for a considerable offer, which might have to be much more than his current release clause.
Kevin Zenon is emerging as a big target for many Premier League sides, and a move in January is a big possibility for the winger. There’s a big requirement for a left-winger of his quality in England, with Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Tottenham all looking at the possibility of signing the Boca Juniors man.
Unai Emery has urged Aston Villa to sign Zenon, and the club is potentially looking into the idea ahead of January. The Birmingham side is eager to strengthen that left wing in the next window to reinforce their attacking setup ahead of a crucial part of their season both domestically and in Europe.
Boca Juniors recently quoted Newcastle United to pay nearly £ 23 million for Zenon, as Eddie Howe wants to bring a new winger into his squad. Any deal will depend on their ability to offload Miguel Almiron, and should they manage that, a deal for the 23-year-old South American target is possible.
Finally, there’s the interest from Tottenham in Zenon, with Spurs being one of the many sides keen on the attacker. Ange Postecoglou, like the other two managers, is eager to bring in a new left-sided attacker, with Timo Werner’s future in doubt.
Boca Juniors want a premium price for Zenon
Boca Juniors will probably continue to demand the price quoted to Newcastle United despite Zenon reportedly having a release clause much lower than the sum. The report states that the attacker has a clause worth $15-18 million in his contract, but the Argentine side might have the power to demand more.
Whether Premier League suitors like those three are willing to pay a premium price to convince Boca Juniors remains to be seen. In any case, the January window is the most favourable time for players from South America to make their moves, meaning a transfer for Zenon remains a big possibility.
