Premier League giants 'interested in Wissam Ben Yedder'

A host of Europe's top clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid, are reportedly interested in Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder.

Five of the Premier League's 'big six' are reportedly among the clubs weighing up a move for Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder when the transfer window reopens.

The 29-year-old has shone for Monaco this season, directly contributing to 25 goals in 26 Ligue 1 appearances, including finding the back of the net 18 times himself.

A host of Europe's top clubs have subsequently been credited with an interest in Ben Yedder, who could be available for around £40m this summer.

L'Equipe reports that Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping tabs on the France international.

However, the Premier League giants also face stiff competition from elsewhere, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Valencia reportedly eager to bring him back to La Liga, where he played for three years at Sevilla.

Barcelona have also previously attempted to sign him, although the Spanish champions are not thought to currently be in the running for his signature.

Ben Yedder joined Monaco in a £35m deal last summer, off the back of a campaign in which he scored 30 goals across all competitions for Sevilla.
