Aston Villa Lead Race for Greek Prodigy Kostoulas, Outpacing Arsenal and Tottenham
Aston Villa have surged ahead in the race to sign the highly-rated Greek youngster, Kostoulas, who has been likened to Real Madrid's Karim Benzema. The 18-year-old striker, currently playing for Olympiacos, has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Arsenal and Tottenham, but it's Villa who are reportedly leading the chase with a potential €25m deal on the table.
Reports from TBR Football and Just Arsenal have highlighted Villa's proactive approach in negotiations, positioning them ahead of their rivals. Chelsea have also shown interest in the young talent, according to CaughtOffside, but it seems Villa's strategy and offer have put them in the driver's seat.
Kostoulas has been making waves in the Greek Super League, drawing comparisons to Benzema due to his playstyle and potential. His performances have not only caught the eye of English clubs but also Italian giants AC Milan, who have been scouting him, as per SempreMilan.
