Premier League Clubs in Hot Pursuit of Mika Biereth
Newcastle United and Aston Villa have emerged as frontrunners in the race to sign Monaco’s sensational striker Mika Biereth this summer. The former Arsenal prodigy has been in scintillating form since his switch to Ligue 1, netting 13 times in just 19 appearances.
Interest from England
Sources close to the player’s representatives have revealed to CaughtOffside that several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle, Wolves, Aston Villa, and Everton, are keen on securing Biereth’s services. The striker’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with Monaco reportedly demanding around £40m for his signature.
A New Chapter in England?
Despite a challenging stint at Arsenal, Biereth has revitalized his career in France and is now seen as a potential star for Premier League sides. Newcastle’s interest in bolstering their attacking options and Aston Villa’s search for a striker to complement or replace Ollie Watkins could see Biereth return to England’s top flight.
Monaco’s Stance
While Monaco is reluctant to part with their in-form striker, the allure of the Premier League and a significant profit on their initial investment might tempt them into negotiations. The coming weeks could be pivotal in determining Biereth’s next destination.
