Crystal Palace, Watford and Cardiff City are all allegedly tracking the Athletic Bilbao ace.
According to a report from Spanish media outlet AS, Watford, Crystal Palace and Cardiff City are all interested in signing Atletico Bilbao defender Unai Nunez this month.
Standing at 6ft 1in tall, the 21-year-old is a strong centre-back, and he already has plenty of experience in playing at the very highest level, having made 45 senior appearances for Bilbao.
Spanish publication AS claims that Watford, Crystal Palace and Cardiff are all keen to bring Nunez to the Premier League, although they are all unwilling to match his €30 million (£26 million) release clause.
The Hornets, Eagles and Bluebirds are all willing to pay somewhere in the region of €20 million (£17.3 million) for the centre-back, according to AS, but it is unclear as to whether that will be enough to prise him away from the San Mamés Stadium.
The 21-year-old is very talented, and he undoubtedly has the potential to go on and become a truly elite player.
Whether Palace, Watford or Cardiff will be prepared to splash out more than £20 million for someone who is unproven in the Premier League, however, remains to be seen.
