da pixbet: A host of Premier League clubs are chasing promising young Spanish footballer Oriol Romeu, according to reports in Spain.
da pinup bet: The Barcelona midfielder has recently signed a new contract with the Spanish league leaders, but that hasn’t put off potential suitors Everton, Blackburn and Manchester United from making enquiries for the player.
Romeu has recently been promoted to first team affairs after playing 45 games for Barcelona’s B team. He has risen the ranks in a similar fashion with the Spanish national team, having played for the Spanish U-17, U-19 and U-20 sides.
It is thought that Arsene Wenger has also previously been interested in the services of the 19 year-old and sent scouts to watch him earlier in the season.
Romeu plays as a defensive midfielder, but can also switch to centre back if required.
Blackburn’s new owners will be keen to get fans back onside with a big signing in January after the controversy of the Sam Allardyce sacking. The addition to the squad of an exciting Barcelona youth product could be just what is required at Ewood Park and could fill the hole left by the injury to Phil Jones. Everton will be hoping that they can agree a loan deal with Barcelona as their transfer budget is unlikely to be able to stretch far enough to sign the player permanently.
