A trio of the Premier League top six are all tracking EURO2023 U21 star Oscar Gloukh, it has been reported, as they look to bolster their ranks this summer.
The Israeli winger has caught the eye of all of Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham as well as European giants FC Barcelona and AC Milan, just six months on from his move to Europe from Tel-Aviv.
Gloukh moved to RB Salzburg in January for a fee of 7m euros, and has grabbed two goals and two assists in his 17 appearances so far for the Austrian side from attacking midfield.
Set to face England in the semi-finals of the U21 European Championships despite already having racked up 6 senior appearances for Israel, he scored the winning penalty in their shootout win over Georgia to set up Saturday’s tie.
And he could be on the move this summer, though the usual Red Bull pathway seems off the cards. ‘It is understood Gloukh would prefer to join a club in England or Spain’ reports the Guardian.
To that end, all three Premier League clubs are keeping an eye on him even though his current contract with RB Salzburg doesn’t expire for another four years.
Still just 19 years old, the attacking midfielder could prove a very shrewd pickup for plenty of clubs around Europe, though his price tag would almost certainly be in excess of £20m, which could give some sides pause for thought.
