HITC Sport understands former QPR trialist is on the radar for several of Europe’s top teams.
Finnish winger Mikael Soisalo is attracting interest from a number of clubs across Europe after impressing for club and country in the last six months, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the player.
Soisalo, who enjoyed a trial at Queens Park Rangers last summer, plies his trade in Finland’s top flight with FC Ives and his performances have brought him to the attention of a host of top sides.
The 18-year-old has scored seven goals and laid on six assists in 37 games for Ives and his displays have earmarked him as one of the most sought-after youngsters in Europe.
Soisalo has spearhead his club’s unlikely title bid in the Veikkausliiga and he has carried that form into the international stage by helping Finland’s Under-19s to the European Elite phase with two goals and three assists in the recent games against Russia, Belgium and Kazakhstan.
A host of clubs from Italy, Germany and Holland are keeping tabs on Soisalo, but now several Premier League and Championship sides have been alerted to the teenager’s exciting potential.
Ives are resigned to losing their prize asset and they are bracing themselves for offers for Soisalo when the transfer window reopens in January.
