122 Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United could be set for busy summers on the transfer front.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has put some good foundations in place, but there’s work to do in order to make the squad better and competitive on all fronts.
Meanwhile, the Gunners will be eager to strengthen after another title push, and the Reds will want Arne Slot to have the strongest squad with which start his tenure.
As for the Red Devils, they’ve endured an underwhelming season in the league and Champions League, and there’s certainly a lot of work to do for them.
All four clubs – plus Manchester City – have been linked with a 22-year-old forward who looks set to be available for just £22million.
The player in question is Yuito Suzuki, who plies his trade for Danish giants Brondby and also represents the Japan Under-23s national team.
According to Bold.dk, Tottenham saw Suzuki in action for Brondby on Wednesday as he scored the winner in a 1-0 defeat of Nordsjaelland.
Spurs, Manchester United, Manchester City, Milan, Ajax, Espanyol and Stuttgart reportedly all had scouts in attendance.
Apparently this was the second time in a few weeks that Tottenham were scouting Suzuki, while Liverpool were said to have watched him back in April.
The report suggested that the 22-year-old’s value is at around €25million (£22million), and they predict it could rise further if he continues to shine.
What has been said about Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United target Yuito Suzuki?
Suzuki only joined Brondby last summer, but he has been well and truly making waves for the Danes.
The £510,000 signing from Shimizu S-Pulse has registered 11 goals and nine assists from just 30 outings for Brondby.
“Suzuki has some qualities that make him a player we don’t see very often in the Super League,” Brondby boss Jesper Sorensen told Bold.dk in April.
“We saw a lot of potential when he arrived. The investment we made in getting him well integrated is really well spent.”
“He has an incredible technique and balance. He comes out of close fighting, even though he is hard-pressed… finishes equally well with both legs, even though he is right-footed.”
With all this in mind, it remains to be seen whether Brondby decide to cash in and make a huge profit on Suzuki amid interest from the Premier League’s biggest teams.
