Moussa Sylla has been lighting up 2.Bundesliga for Schalke 04 this season and now links to the Premier League have emerged.
Africa Foot has reported on West Ham and Bournemouth’s interest in the 25-year-old striker, while they also conducted an interview with agent Ahmet Ersoy of World Sports Management Agency.
The player is not represented by Ersoy himself, instead he is signed with Rafaela Pimenta’s firm.
Sylla has 14 goals in 23 matches this season, reportedly attracting interest from England as well as Bayer Leverkusen.
“I’m not surprised by Moussa Sylla’s suitors,” said Ersoy. “He has a very unique style of play. He’s a fast-paced guy, he’s skilled in front of goal, and he can carry a team single-handedly. He’s a rare talent, as he can play across the entire attacking line, which is an asset in itself.”
Speaking on his future, he said: “I think his next team will be of a very high level with such individual performances the clubs normally flock to him.
“Regarding his various club options, my preference is for England. I’ve also seen that Club Bruges and Real Betis are interested. I would advise him to seize these opportunities. These clubs represent excellent career choices.
“With his current season, he can aim higher than the second-tier clubs. If he works hard, he can take a step up by joining these clubs.
Sylla only joined Schalke in the summer, signing from French club Pau for €2.5m.
