Roony Bardghji heading to the Premier League? Agent issues update on Copenhagen wonderkid's future as he vows 18-year-old set for 'biggest stages'

A host of top European clubs are closely monitoring Bardghji after he grabbed the limelight with an 87th-minute winner against Manchester United in the Champions League earlier in November. Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Newcastle United are reportedly huge admirers of the player with Barcelona and French outfit Nice also holding interest.

Bardghji has been a revelation for the Danish outfit this season scoring 11 times in 25 games. Born in Kuwait City to a Syrian family, he has been nicknamed the Swedish Messi due to his exciting style of play. However, he happens to be a Real Madrid fan and previously in an interview with Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet he revealed that he "wants to end up" at the Spanish capital so that he can play with Los Blancos "for many years." He has signed up with Christian Emile of CAA Base and the agent believes that the forward is the next big thing in Swedish football since Zlatan Ibrahimovich.

Speaking toFabrizio Romano he said: "He’s one of the most exciting talents in the world and also the future of Swedish football since Zlatan, it’s natural that he is being monitored by major clubs”.

When pressed about his future he added: "It’s too early to say now… but one thing is for sure — you’ll get used to seeing Roony perform on the biggest stage.”

Emile has several Tottenham Hotspur players in his client roster including James Maddison, Heung-min Son, Richarlison, Pedro Porro, Pape Sarr and even manager Ange Postecoglou. Apart from the Spurs stars, CAA Base also represents Eberechi Eze, Raphael Varane, Cole Palmer, Rico Lewis, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier.

It is expected that things will heat up next summer for his services if Bardghji continues with his rich vein of form. He will next be in action against Viborg on November 25.
