Vincenzo Grifo has shone in the Bundesliga for Freiburg, reportedly catching the eye of Premier League trio Everton, Southampton and Watford.
Premier League trio Everton, West Ham United and Watford are all interested in signing Freiburg forward Vincenzo Grifo in the summer, TEAMtalk reports.
A skilful attacking midfielder, Grifo is shining on loan at Freiburg after struggling to make an impression following last summer’s £4.7 million move to Hoffenheim (L’Equipe).
He has scored four goals and provided seven assists in 2018/19, most of those coming since he joined Christian Streich’s side on a temporary basis in January.
TEAMtalk reports that Hoffenheim are planning to cash in on Grifo when he returns in the summer, however. But there is no shortage of interest with Everton, West Ham and Watford all allegedly interested in bringing the 25-year-old to the Premier League.
A free-kick specialist with an eye for goal, Grifo made his name in the Bundesliga during his first spell at Freiburg, scoring a career-best nine times in the 2016/17 season.
Grifo, who was born in Germany but made his debut for the Italian national team in November, has rediscovered that form since returning to the Schwarzwald Stadium.
It remains to be seen how much Hoffenheim would demand though they will be hopeful of making a profit on Grifo with clubs in the cash-rich Premier League interested.
