Several local Spanish media are reporting that the reason why ‘Lee Kang-in’s agent’ Harvey Garrido visits English Premier League (EPL) clubs one after another is Moroccan winger Abde Ezaljuli (22, Osasuna).
‘Sport’ said on the 14th (local time), “Barcelona highly evaluates the performance of Ezalzuli, who is on loan at Osasuna. The striker will return to Barcelona after the season and will be with him for the pre-season. Whether or not he will be included in the first team depends on the club’s economic situation. (Amidst this) several clubs are showing interest in signing Ezazuli,” it was reported.
“Ezaljuli’s agent, Garrido, is traveling in England. Among them, he met with Leeds United and talked about the future of his client. Leeds plans to make a scout for the Moroccan striker if Leeds confirms his stay. Harvey Gracia’s team is in 16th place with 29 points, two points above Nottingham Forest, who are in the relegation zone.”
“Aston Villa are already in a more comfortable position than Leeds in the scouting race. Unai Emery’s side are in sixth place with 47 points,스포츠토토” he continued. On the 11th, another Spanish media ‘Mundo Deportivo’ reported that “a number of EPL clubs are aiming to sign Abde.” Ezaljuli scored three goals and provided two assists in 22 La Liga games this season.
