Aston Villa and Leeds United are reportedly keen on signing Nicolas Raskin from Rangers in the summer transfer window.
Nicolas Rasking has attracted the attention of Aston Villa and Leeds United with his performances, and he is valued at £20 million. According to a report from TEAMtalk, the two English clubs will compete for the Rangers star, who has been labelled as the best midfielder in Scotland right now.
The Belgian midfielder has two goals and six assists in all competitions this season, and the 24-year-old could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition for Aston Villa and Leeds United.
Both clubs need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and Raskin would be a quality addition. He will be excited about the possibility of playing in the Premier League next season, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Aston Villa have put together a talented squad, and they are competing in the UEFA Champions League this season. Although they are unlikely to finish in the top four, they could still secure European qualification for the next season.
On the other hand, Leeds United are the favourites to secure promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season. The Belgian midfielder will be attracted to the idea of taking up a new challenge in the summer, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. However, Leeds have other options on their radar, including Kalvin Phillips.
Raskin could fancy joining both clubs
Nicolas Raskin needs to join a club where he will get plenty of first-team opportunities. Aston Villa and Leeds United could provide him with the platform he needs, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. The reported £20 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of quality, and he could justify the investment in the coming seasons.
Both clubs are looking to build a formidable squad for the future, and they will need to plug their weaknesses during the summer transfer window. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right additions during the summer and come back stronger next year.
Raskin is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at the highest level. The opportunity to compete in the Premier League will be hard to turn down for him, and the player is likely to be tempted to join the two clubs if there is a concrete proposal on the table.
