Southampton’s teenage sensation Luke Shaw is one of the most sought after young talents in England. Many big clubs across Europe are ready to get into a bidding war to sign the young talent according to various reports. Shaw has been very impressive in the left-back position for his club this season.
Chelsea are looking for a suitable replacement for Ashley Cole. United too would be willing to splash big money on the player as part of David Moyes’ team rebuilding campaign. With their transfer target Leighton Baines signing a contract extension with Everton and Patrice Evra rumoured to quit the club in the summer, Shaw looks to be a good replacement for the departing French man.
Manchester City too had joined the party. Accordingto reports by The Daily Mail, City are also keeping close watch on the player and are likely to make a move for him during the summer transfer window. They are looking forward to signing a new left-back this summer and considers Shaw’s pace, technical abilities and his eyes for goals- as the qualities they want in their left-back.
With former Arsenal defender Gael Clichy and Aleksander Kolarov both failing to hold down regular first team shirts in the left-back position, Shaw’s terrific form just may be what could do the magic if he chooses to sign for them.
So far, Southampton have been trying to ward off big clubs from their talented young star. It remains to be seen how long they would succeed at that particularly when big money is been dangled in front of them. The 18 year old England international is currently valued at £22 million.
