Three Premier League clubs are showing an interest in signing Southampton and Everton linked striker Luciano Vietto.

The 23-year-old Argentine striker’s future at Atletico Madrid is uncertain going into the final stretch of the summer transfer window.




Sampdoria have been in talks to sign the striker in the final month of the window and are willing to match Atletico Madrid’s €20m asking price for the player but they are facing stiff competition from England.

According to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, three unnamed Premier League clubs are also interested in signing the Atletico Madrid man and are keeping close tabs on the situation.
 


Premier League interest in Vietto is not new as Everton and Southampton are believed to have been keen to take the Argentine to England during the summer transfer.
