Charlie Davies, the 22-year-old Hammarby striker is drawing interest from Ligue 1 side F.C. Sochaux.

 

According to football365.fr, the French club, who finished near the bottom of the table in Ligue one, have been keeping tabs on the young American and would like to sign him in the summer transfer market to help strengthen their attack.

Davies has netted 21 times in 60 appearances for Hammarby and has worked his way into Bob Bradley’s U.S. National Team thanks to his strong performances in the Swedish Allsvenskan. According to the report it may have been Davies’ good showings with the U.S. that have captured the eye of Sochaux management who think he would be the perfect compliment to Vaclav Sverkos.

 

American players have found mixed results in Ligue 1 recently with Carlos Bocanegra making a name for himself at Rennes while Freddy Adu has struggled mightily at A.S. Monaco.

 

Davies is in camp with the U.S. preparing for a busy summer that will include three major competitions and should give the young striker a glorious opportunity to show his skills against some top competition.
