According to a report by A Bola, as relayed by Sport Witness, Vangelis Pavlidis has a market in the Premier League heading into the summer transfer window. Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are keen on signing the Benfica striker, with the Portuguese club fearing “another attack from England” in the coming months.
Vangelis Pavlidis has been one of the most productive strikers in the world since joining Benfica from AZ Alkmaar last summer. The Thessaloniki native was already a prolific attacker during his spell with the Eredivisie outfit. However, he has taken his output to a new level since moving to Portugal.
The 26-year-old has contributed to 35 goals in 47 appearances across all competitions thus far this season by finding the back of the net 25 times and providing 10 assists. Meanwhile, the Greek striker’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Premier League outfits, in particular, are keen on signing Pavlidis, with Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United vying for his signature.
Everton will dip into the market for a striker in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s long-term future. The English international is ready to call time on his spell with the Merseyside club and leave as a free agent. So, Pavlidis has emerged as a viable target for Everton.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Vangelis Pavlidis makes sense. The Magpies are combing the market for a striker as they prepare to part ways with Callum Wilson in the summer transfer window. So, Pavlidis is an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
As for West Ham United, the SL Benfica striker has been on the East London club’s radar for a long time. With this season’s two striker signings failing to make their mark, the Hammers need a new addition to the first-team squad. So, Pavlidis is a viable target for West Ham.
Meanwhile, the Portuguese giants “fear of another attack from England”. However, the 26-year-old Greek international is not considering leaving after only one season. So, Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United face an uphill task to land Pavlidis.
