Manchester United are interested in signing the Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee and a deal to sign the Dutch international attacker is reportedly close.
According to a report from SportMediaset, Manchester United are now one step away from signing the 23-year-old attacker and they have already informed the Italian club that they will trigger his €40 million release clause.
Zirkzee has established himself as a reliable performer in the Serie A and he has the quality to succeed in English football as well. The 23-year-old scored 12 goals in all competitions last season and he picked up seven assists along the way.
The Dutchman is more than just a goalscorer and he will add creativity to the Manchester United attack as well. He could be the ideal partner for Rasmus Hojlund next season. The 23-year-old has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League and he could justify the €40 million investment in the coming seasons.
Zirkzee could transform Man United
Manchester United will have to improve their attacking unit if they are serious about competing for major trophies they are currently lacking in depth in the final third and someone like Zirkzee could make a defining impact.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite attractive for the player, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League and prove himself at Manchester United. They could provide him with the platform to compete for trophies every season and it would be a major step up in his career.
Competing regularly with Manchester United in the Premier League could help him cement his place in the Netherlands national team starting lineup as well. It remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can now wrap up the transfer quickly and focus on improving the other areas of their squad as well.
