Wolves, Brighton, Eintracht Frankfurt Join Race To Sign £10m Rated Nigerian Forward

By Alfred Ifemosu

Viktoria Plzen striker, Rafiu Durosinmi, is currently on the radar of two English Premier League(EPL) sides- Wolves, Brighton and Bundlesliga league leaders, Eintractht Frankfurt, Daily Mail Football reports.

The trio wanted to secure his services after identifying the youngster as a top target in the January transfer market.

The 6ft 4ins striker has scored nine goals for Plzen this season, including six in nine league games. 

Technically adept, the Nigerian has been impressing with his performances, showcasing his skill, athleticism, and a variety of finishes.

Wolves are among those to have scouted the 20-year-old striker, with the Telegraph  reporting that the club have held talks with Plzen this week over a possible deal.

The Czech side are reportedly demanding £10million for the forward, while personal terms are thought to be an issue at this stage.

Durosinmi is currently recovering from knee ligament surgery, after sustaining the injury during a match against Slovan Liberec on October 21.

The injury has forced him to miss Plzen’s last six matches and could keep him out for another month.

Mail Sport reported earlier this month that Brighton were among the team to be on the trail of  Durosimi 

According to the report, the Seagulls have had an eye on forward planning and are  mindful of clubs eyeing Evan  Ferguson despite his new contract.

Durosinmi has also attracted attention from clubs in the Bundesliga, with Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart monitoring developments.

Mail Sport reports that Durosinmi has set his mind on a move to Eintracht Frankfurt believing that, as with France star Kolo Muani, they could give him the platform for the next step up in his career.

The Nigerian-born striker, who has drawn comparisons to former Arsenal strikers Kanu and Emmanuel Adebayor with his physique and style, only joined Plzen last January from second tier Czech side Karvina. 

The striker had previously played for the Box2box academy in Nigeria and has yet to be capped by his country.
