Marc Cucurella made an impression on Brighton and is now wanted by other PL clubs
A busy summer awaits the Spanish player as after establishing himself as a PL star during his productive debut campaign at the Amex Stadium, Tottenham, Man City and Chelsea are all now in control of his situation.
A little about the topic
Marc Cucurella, who is a product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy system, has seen his stock rise to the point that heavy equipment from the top four of English football is now mulling summer approaches for his signature. Marc, who has one senior cap for Spain, may soon have some important decisions to make, while the seagulls’ resolve to keep him in his current environment could be tested with interest in his services continuing to build.
Which clubs are interested in Marc Cucurella?
The reigning PL champions are understood to be in the market for reinforcements down the left side of their team. While Cancelo is capable of filling many different positions in Guardiola’s plans, he is not considered a natural fit at left-back. Zinchenko really slots unhindered into that defensive space and could yet leave the Etihad Stadium this summer with Marc seen as a useful choice to add depth and competition.
In the spring of 2020, word was circulated that Marc Cucurella, who was on loan from Getafe at the time, had begun to register on the Blues’ recruitment radars. Chelsea remains to the player’s fans but is not expected to formalize their interest unless another international performer from that part of the world leaves Stamford Bridge. Barca is among those to be linked with Alonso, but he remains in west London for now – together with England international Chilwell – and left back is not a priority position for Tuchel to fill as yet.
Conte is understood to have cast admiring glances in Marc’s direction due to his ability to slot in at left back and central midfield. Tottenham has been asking Ben Davies to do likewise lately with Wales international living excellently, but a different choice would be welcome in north London when it comes to that area.
