According to reports from The Guardian, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all targeting Lille prodigy Sofiane Boufal.
Having emerged as a talismanic entity for the Ligue 1 side since joining their ranks from Angers twelve months ago, the attacking midfielder has naturally been compared to former Lille star and 2015 PFA Player of the Year winner Eden Hazard.

Tottenham Hotspur have been on the 22-year-old’s trail for some time and were first linked with him back in October. The Guardian document their interest once again, but claim Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are also targeting the 5 foot 9 starlet having scouted him extensively this season.
Boufal is reportedly “99% certain” to stay at Stade Pierre-Mauroy this month despite heavy Premier League interest, but a summer move appears to be on the cards. Financial difficulties will likely force Lille to sell the Paris-born prospect, who is rated at around €25million.
I don’t know about United signing the New Hazard they already have the new Moyes. He does not inspire confidence out on the pitch he does not get the best out of players who are playing below their potential because of his dolorous demeanour and he is incapable of changing tactics at any time during a match, but he does a good impersonation of Borris Karlof.
