Manchester United and Newcastle are set to go head-to-head in a transfer battle for Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy, despite the player reportedly wanting to join Tottenham.
Man Utd and Newcastle Eyeing Guirassy
Guirassy, the 27-year-old Guinea international, has caught the attention of several top clubs after his impressive performances in the Bundesliga. He has scored 19 goals in 16 appearances this season, making him a hot prospect in the transfer market.
Cut-Price Deal
Guirassy could be on the move this month due to a release clause in his contract, which is set at a bargain price of £15.1 million. This has made him an attractive option for potential suitors, including both Newcastle and Manchester United.
Preference for Spurs
Although Guirassy has expressed a preference for a move to Tottenham, it seems that both Manchester United and Newcastle are undeterred by his wishes. They are keen to secure his services before the January transfer window closes.
A Journeyman Career
Guirassy has had an interesting career path, starting in the French lower leagues before making moves to Lille, Auxerre, Cologne, and Amiens. He enjoyed a successful three-year spell at Rennes before joining Stuttgart last summer. However, his impressive start to this season could see him on the move again.
Guirassy has spoken about his desire to play in the Premier League, but he has not ruled out staying with Stuttgart. He believes that anything is possible in football and that his current team has a good chance of success if they stay humble.
It remains to be seen which club will win the battle for Guirassy's signature, but one thing is for sure – he is a player in high demand.
