Aston Villa consider move for Israeli talent
Several clubs are reportedly monitoring the progress of RB Salzburg youngster Oscar Gloukh.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder has quickly forged a fine reputation for himself after joining the Austrian club in a £5m deal from Maccabi Tel Aviv in January last year. Since making the move, Gloukh has scored nine goals and provided ten assists in 46 appearances and that has prompted interest from a number of big name clubs from around Europe.
Football Insider have claimed Aston Villa are ‘very keen’ and have a long-term interest in the youngster after watching him in action last year – but Arsenal have also entered the race to sign Gloukh after sending scouts to monitor his progress in recent weeks.
The 3AM Verdict: It will take some effort to sign Gloukh given the calibre of clubs that are reportedly showing an interest in the youngster. But Villa’s impressive progress under Unai Emery could well swing the battle to sign him in their favour.
