Said El Mala could be on the move this summer, with several Premier League clubs monitoring the 1. FC Köln winger.
Alongside Chelsea FC, Newcastle United FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC, Brentford FC are also showing interest in a summer move for the youngster, according to Kicker.
However, it remains unclear how many – if any – of these clubs are willing to meet Köln’s asking price, with a recent report from Sport Bild claiming that the Billy Goats are demanding €50 million for their prized asset.
If the 19-year-old earns a place in Germany national team squad for the World Cup, his market value could rise even further.
So far this season, El Mala has scored 10 goals and provided four assists in 27 Bundesliga appearances.
