EXCLUSIVE: Premier League club close to signing star striker
A major Premier League club is in advanced negotiations to secure the services of one of Europe's most prolific strikers.
A leading Premier League club is on the verge of completing a deal for one of Europe's most sought-after strikers, sources have confirmed. The transfer, which could be worth up to £60 million, would represent a statement of intent from the buying club.
Negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks and are now at an advanced stage, with personal terms believed to have been agreed. The player's current club are reluctantly accepting that their star man is determined to make the move to the Premier League.
The striker, who has scored over 20 goals in all competitions this season, would significantly bolster the buying club's attacking options. His ability to play across the front line and his proven track record in European competition make him an ideal addition.
An official announcement could come as early as next week, with the player expected to undergo a medical in London before putting pen to paper on a long-term contract.
