Villa, Chelsea, West Ham in Race for Rising Argentine Forward

By Akpo ESCO 

Aston Villa, Chelsea and West Ham United are all keeping close tabs on Joaquin Panichelli amid his fantastic season at Strasbourg, we can confirm.

Panichelli is a 23-year-old striker who was born in Cordoba, Argentina, and spent time at clubs such as Racing Club, River Plate and Alaves before joining Strasbourg in July. Strasbourg, Chelsea’s sister club, paid Alaves a reported €16.5million (£14m / $19m) to sign Panichelli on a five-year contract.

Strasbourg look set to make big profit on the centre-forward in the near future, as he is quickly emerging as one of the brightest young footballer in the world now
