lcfcnsk Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 http://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-west-ham-old-love-striker-impressing-cl-keen-signing/ Leicester City and West Ham with ‘old love’ for striker, impressing in CL, both keen on signing It’s been a while since these rumours disappeared, but Porto striker Moussa Marega is back being linked to Premier League clubs this week. With the player showing some great form in the Champions League, newspaper Correio da Manhã says English and Italian sides are interested in signing him. There are only two clubs who are named in the story, and that’s Leicester City and West Ham United. Correio da Manhã says both Premier League sides have some ‘old love’ for the 27-year-old. The recent noise about the player is because of his great form in the Champions League, where he has six goals in seven appearances, with even UEFA highlighting his achievement of scoring in six consecutive matches. Embed from Getty Images Marega has recently renewed his contract with Porto, but his release clause, which is of €40m, doesn’t seem like too big for either Leicester City or West Ham. The player has a total of 17 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances for Porto this season, and could be leading the club to a consecutive league title.

Ric Flair Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 We have been scouting Porto a few times this season, was hoping it was for Telles, Brahimi or Herrera but this lad has really done well in recent seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg_fried_rice Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 Has been great in the CL this season, but I'm not convinced. His touch and technique are lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 nooooooo thanks. He can score goals but thats it. Doesn't know anything else to do with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No longer necessary - Everton appear to have given us and the Hammers carte Blanche to engage in a two horse race on all these baseless and totally fabricated rumours 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 I guess no one watched him last week against Roma. He worked so hard. Ran the channels. Got a goal. I actually think he'd be great in a two with Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he'd be great in a two with Vardy. Yeah he's a decent player. For his age and fee I think we should pass but he could do a good job for somone midtable with ambitions to move up. Raul for Wolves is on loan from Portugal and been pretty good here as a comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 Slimani looked a good prospect in the same league. Caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot, I imagine, are "easy" assists, like Vardy's to Tielemans last game. In a league like Portugals its not hard. He could do it but I'm very sceptical.

GingerrrFox Posted 13 March 2019 Share Posted 13 March 2019 With how Brendan wants to play the game. All he essentially wants from his striker is work rate, pace, strength and goal scoring ability He ticks all them boxes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a league like Portugals its not hard. He could do it but I'm very sceptical. That's still not a bad assist though. It's taken a good run from Vardy in the first place to get into that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volpeazzurro Posted 27 March 2019 Share Posted 27 March 2019 Another from the poor Portuguese league, aged 27yrs so little scope for resale value, similarish age to Slimani and Silva who, if they had have been any good, would have been snapped up well before nearing their sell by dates. Unless he's really really cheap, as an old 'Who' song went 'don't get fooled again'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
