Aston Villa, Hull City, Queens Park Rangers and Reading are reportedly keen on striker Angel.
Striker Angel in action for Levante
According to the Daily Mail, four Championship clubs – Aston Villa, Hull City, Queens Park Rangers and Reading – are interested in signing Real Zaragoza striker Angel.
Angel, 30, had spells with Tenerife, Elche, Levante and Eibar before joining Zaragoza in 2015; a move which has certainly paid dividends for the striker.
Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce
The attacker hit 21 goals in 39 games in all competitions this season, taking his tally for the club to 32 goals in 74 games – the most success he has enjoyed since leaving Elche in 2012.
Now, Angel is free to walk away from Zaragoza given that his two-year contract with the club ends this summer, and it seems that English clubs are lining up to sign him.
General view outside Loftus Road
The Daily Mail report that Aston Villa, Hull City and Reading are all keen to sign Angel, whilst QPR even scouted him in action against Girona on Sunday.
Villa allegedly have a small budget to work with this summer, so bringing in a free agent like Angel to challenge with Jonathan Kodjia and Scott Hogan could be appealing to Steve Bruce.
Reading manager Jaap Stam
Hull have yet to appoint a new manager since Marco Silva’s departure, making new signings seem somewhat unlikely for now, whilst Reading may look to Angel for additional firepower given that Lewis Grabban is returning to Bournemouth after the end of his loan spell.
QPR is an interesting proposition, and they appear to be very keen having watched him on Sunday, with Ian Holloway potentially seeing Angel as a bargain signing to boost his attack – but the competition for his signature seems fierce.
