Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers are keeping a close eye on Viktoria Plzeň forward Rafiu Durosinmi, with both Premier League clubs sending scouts to watch the striker in action.
According to Football Insider, representatives from Leicester and Wolves were present at Plzeň’s 2-1 defeat to Lazio in the Europa League last week, where the Nigerian forward scored his team’s only goal.
Rising star in European football
At just 22 years old, Durosinmi has emerged as one of the most promising strikers in the Czech First League.
His performances in both domestic and European competitions have attracted increasing interest from top clubs.
His form in recent months has been particularly impressive, with the forward scoring five goals and providing one assist in his last 10 matches.
Previous transfer setback
Durosinmi was close to securing a move to Eintracht Frankfurt last summer.
However, the transfer collapsed at the last moment due to an abnormality detected during his medical examination.
Despite this setback, he returned to action with renewed determination and has since become a key player for Miroslav Koubek’s side.
With two years remaining on his contract, Viktoria Plzeň may demand a significant transfer fee should they decide to sell.
Premier League interest growing
Leicester City and Wolves are both looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the summer transfer window.
- Leicester, currently pushing for promotion back to the Premier League, are looking for reinforcements in attack to ensure they have the necessary firepower for top-flight football next season.
- Wolves, on the other hand, are aiming to strengthen their squad after showing signs of inconsistency in front of goal this campaign.
Both clubs will likely continue monitoring Durosinmi’s performances before deciding whether to make a formal approach in the summer.
For now, the young Nigerian forward remains focused on his performances with Viktoria Plzeň, but a move to England could be on the horizon if Leicester or Wolves decide to make their interest official.
