Hi Ed’s, is there any interest at all in Guirassy of Stuttgart? He’s had a great season and could be a cut price option for us in attack.

{Ed002's Note - Serhou Guirassy (S) Stuttgart are working hard to remove the release clause (which is to some extent a red herring) and the player is unlikely to be interested in joining any mid-table English side and will wait for the best opportunity with perhaps Spurs, Manchester United or Newcastle making an offer for the summer. There is declared interest from Spurs and the other clubs have sent scouts. Borussia Dortmund have him as a summer target and could move on Sébastien Haller to make apace for him. With Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting out of contract at Bayern Munich this summer they are considering him but would need to pair him with Harry Kane, effectively taking Thomas Muller out of the equation. Milan may offer a wildcard option but they have mush preferred options.}

Thanks for the reply Ed. He looks like a good player and even if this form doesn’t translate into next season, if he got half of what he’s done this season it would represent good business. Just on your point of the clause being a red herring, is this because it’s not as straight forward as pay the money and he’s yours? Or is there another reason? Thanks again.
