The transfer window is officially shut more than week ago but that has not stopped clubs from around England to scout for their future transfer targets.
The clubs in the Premier League are desperate to keep tabs on some of the best players in Europe and have over the course of this week after the deadline day, tried to isolate targets who are ready to move to the country in years to come.
One player who is now attracting a lot of interest from Premier League sides is River Plate striker Lucas Alario.
The 23-year old is an exciting prospect who is in decent form in the domestic league in Argentina.
He has been an important player for the River Plate side scoring 11 goals in the last 19 appearances for the side in the last two years.
He has also made in into the senior national team having already made two appearances and is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in Argentina.
Alario has recently signed a contract extension with the Argentine outfit that will keep him at the club till 2020 but it is understood that the 23-year old is looking for top class European football and is ready to take the big step in his career.
It is revealed that a couple of Premier League clubs are interested in his signature.
Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur, who are unbeaten in the first four games of the season, are reportedly in the driving seat for his signature but Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are also reportedly interested in his signature next summer.
It is revealed that though River Plate are not ready to sell yet, the 23-year old has a release clause inserted in his contract that will allow the Premier League clubs to steal him away at a cheaper price.
According to Marca, Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make a £15.2m move for the youngster next summer and are desperate to land their man.
It will be interesting to see if Jurgen Klopp also increases his interest in the player and Alario will be hoping that he can make the move next summer and have an immediate impact on the league.
Do you think Lucas Alario will flourish in the Premier League?
