Eds, do any of you have any knowledge on the Zakaria Bakkali situation? Thanks
{Ed002's Note - PSVs Zakaria Bakkali has attracted attention from Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Norwich and Augsburg. I spoke with a "specialist" in the Netherlands leagues but he was seen to be light year away from first team football in the EPL and any move this past summer would have potentially been a dent in his career - although Chelsea did offer to send him to Vitesse Arnhem on loan. I cannot see that much will have changed in the short term aside from, I suspect, interest from Liverpool (who went for Origi) and Norwich amd Augsberg moving on. Way too early to see if anyone will look to do anything although Inter, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are still posturing.}
