RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol attracting potential interest from these two Premier League giants

He
helped
the
club
win
DFB-Pokal
last
season
and
was
also
named
the
best
young
Croatian
footballer
last
year.
His
performances
at
the
Red
Bull
Arena
unsurprisingly
have
caught
several
eyes.

At
20
years
old,
he
is
yet
to
reach
his
full
potential
and
his
signing
hence
definitely
be
a
shrewd
one
for
a
lot
of
European
clubs.
As
per
rumours,
these
two
English
giants
are
now
monitoring
the
youngster
and
could
be
interested
in
getting
him
this
summer.

Arsenal

Arsenal
are
in
the
market
for
a
left-footed
defender
who
can
play
as
a
centre-back
as
well
as
left-back.
Arteta
wants
a
defender
to
provide
cover
in
both
positions
and
particularly
challenge
Kieran
Tierney
in
the
full-back
role.
They
were
earlier
linked
with
Ajax’s
Lisandro
Martinez
but
he
is
now
tipped
to
sign
for
rival
Manchester
United.
As
a
result,
the
North
London
side
has
now
shifted
their
attention
and
the
Leipzig
defender
is
apparently
on
their
wishlist.

Manchester
City

Manchester
City
are
also
said
to
be
interested
in
the
Croatia
youngster
as
they
look
to
find
a
replacement
for
Nathan
Ake.
The
Dutch
defender
is
edging
closer
to
a
move
to
Stamford
Bridge
for
regular
game-time
but
it
will
only
leave
the
Citizens
with
three
recognized
center-backs
John
Stones,
Aymeric
Laporte,
and
Ruben
Dias.
With
the
defending
league
winners
ready
to
fight
for
all
front
with
sufficient
potential,
the
club
are
seeking
to
add
a
replacement.
Being
a
left-footed
ball-playing
and
versatile
centre-back,
the
youngster
ticks
all
the
boxes
to
replace
Ake,
and
hence
reportedly
is
attaining
interest.

However,
having
all
said
that
the
big
stumbling
block
could
be
the
youngster’s
asking
price.
Having
just
signed
him
in
2020,
any
move
for
the
Croatian
defender
could
prove
to
be
expensive.
So
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
the
German
club
reacts
if
any
actual
bid
comes
around
from
these
two
sides.
