Aston Villa and Newcastle enter race to sign in-demand £20m-rated attacker

FC Copenhagen winger Roony Bardghji has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months and several Premier League clubs are keen on him.

According to a report from HITC, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to sign the 18-year-old winger, and they will face competition from Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Bardghji has been impressive this season, scoring 11 goals across all competitions. The young winger is valued at £20 million and it will be interesting to see if Aston Villa or Newcastle can win the race for his signature.

Aston Villa have been overly dependent on Ollie Watkins for goals and they need more support in the attack. Signing a goalscoring winger would be a wise decision. The 18-year-old is a tremendous talent with a big future ahead of him and he could develop into a key player for the West Midlands club.

Similarly, Newcastle need to add more depth to their attack as well. They have not been able to replace Allan Saint-Maximin adequately and Bardghji would be a quality alternative.

Bardghji will be tempted to move to England

The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be a tempting proposition for the young winger and he will fancy his chances of competing for major trophies with the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle.

All four clubs have the financial muscle to pay the reported £20 million asking price but the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle might be able to offer him regular first team action. Manchester United and Tottenham have other options at their disposal.

Bardghji will not want to be a squad player at a big club. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
