Premier League table toppers Manchester City are reportedly keeping a close eye on Schalke 04’s 20-year-old attacker Breel Embolo.
The Swiss international rose to prominence with FC Basel with whom he won three consecutive Swiss Super League titles. His dynamic play in the attacking third garnered the attention of a host of clubs around Europe, including the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. But Bundesliga club Schalke won his signature in 2016 and signed him on a five year contract for a reported fee of €20 million plus add-ons.
Unfortunately for the youngster, a savage foul on his ankle fractured his bone and ruptured his ligaments in October that year.
