Although the summer transfer window is months away from opening, that certainly has not prevented the rumor mill from already being in full swing.
One interesting piece of news links four of England's "Big Six" with a player who's plying his trade in the Bundesliga. And no, it's not a Norwegian that everyone's been talking about lately. Nor is it the Bundesliga that most people are more familiar with.
Rather, according to Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten, current league leaders Manchester City, reigning champs Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all closely tracking the progress of a certain young striker named Patson Daka. Daka, a 22-year-old Zambian international has racked up a whopping 27 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions so far, with 20 of those coming from league play. And if one adds eight assists, he's been directly involved in 35 goals for American manager Jesse Marsch's side, who are presently on top of the table in the Austrian Bundesliga and into the final of the Austrian Cup.
With a value of just €20 million, it's no shock the Premier League quartet are reportedly highly keen on adding him to their books. However, if Daka keeps this up, expect his price to rise as not only will other sides start to take notice, but also Salzburg will look to gain more return on their investment.
The Austrian side just so happen to be the club where Erling Haaland really made a name for himself before earning a move to Borussia Dortmund where he's rapidly become a household name in seemingly record time. As such, it will be very interesting to see what transpires this summer and if very soon, we'll be seeing Daka testing himself in the Premier League - or possibly in the Bundesliga - in the not too distant future.
