HITC Sport understands Swansea and QPR are eyeing Ostersunds FK star Aiesh.
Granit Xhaka of Arsenal and Hosam Aiesh of Ostersunds FK battle for the ball
Swansea City and Queens Park Rangers are ready to battle it out for Ostersunds FK attacker Hosam Aiesh, HITC Sport understands.
Aiesh has impressed at Ostersunds since joining the club in January 2015 from BK Hacken.
The skilful winger has rose to prominence in Ostersunds’ surprise run to the knockout stages of the Europa League last season.
Aiesh scored in Ostersund’s memorable 2-1 win over English giants Arsenal in February and a number of clubs have been keeping tabs on his progress for some time.
The 23-year-old has also caught the eye in the Swedish Allsvenskan this season with one goal and two assists in six games so far this term.
Queens Park Rangers are long-term admirers of the versatile attacker and they believe he has all the attributes to be a success in England.
However, they could face competition for Aiesh’s signature following Graham Potter’s appointment as Swansea manager.
Potter is a big fan of Aiesh having signed him as Ostersunds manager and he would love to be reunited with the Palestinian at the Liberty Stadium.
Aiesh is entering the final 18 months of his contract at Ostersunds and the club are bracing themselves for offers for the player during this summer’s transfer window.
