Emmanuel Rivière, the AS Monaco striker, has drawn interest from Premier League clubs, with Crystal Palace and Stoke City both keen on securing his services. Stoke City is reportedly leading the pursuit and has offered a €6 million check to AS Monaco to acquire the Martinican striker, according to information from the Times.
Stoke City, currently seeking a striker, sees Rivière as a potential solution to boost their attack. Manager Mark Hughes has made the 23-year-old striker a priority, hoping that Rivière can help the team move away from the relegation zone in the Premier League. While Stoke City prefers a loan arrangement, AS Monaco is inclined towards a direct transfer.
Emmanuel Rivière, who has scored eight goals in the French championship, often finds himself on the bench due to the presence of Radamel Falcao in the Monaco squad. The outcome of the transfer negotiations will determine the next destination for the talented striker in the Premier League.
