Bakola has the quality to compete at a higher level, and the move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. It would allow him to play for top clubs, and that could accelerate his development. However, he must choose his next destination carefully. He should look to join a club where there is a prominent role for him and a clear pathway to the first team. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him.

Finally, Newcastle are interested in him as well. They have an exciting project, and they are looking to build for the future. Bakola might get more opportunities at Newcastle compared to the other three clubs. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world and they have the financial muscle to close the transfer.
