Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea vying for Roger Fernandes, Newcastle United might have advantage
A host of Premier League sides are monitoring Braga sensation Roger Fernandes closely, while Newcastle United might have an advantage in the chase.
According to O Jogo via Sport Witness, Braga teenager Roger Fernandes is of tremendous interest to many Premier League sides. Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Newcastle United are all interested, with the Magpies probably holding an advantage in the chase.
Roger Fernandes played 14 games for Braga last season when he was 17 and has continued his meteoric rise in their first team this term. The teenage winger has featured 16 times already in this campaign, largely owing to Braga going through six qualifier games for the Europa League.
In any case, he is a sure starter for the club going forward this season, as his performances have shown he’s ready for the big stage. He will continue to grow in stature should regular game time continue at Braga, although there are doubts about his future at the club, as some of the big clubs are already circling for his signature.
A host of Premier League teams are keeping close tabs on the 18-year-old African attacking sensation. Fernandes will soon be eligible to play for Portuguese youth teams, although national team manager Roberto Martinez is already keeping a close eye on him, which would indicate he might consider him for the senior side straight away.
In any case, he needs to keep playing regularly to reach that side of the game, but will that happen away at a Premier League side compared to Braga? Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle United are all keen on the 18-year-old African attacking sensation, as the right winger could get a big opportunity to leave early in his career. However, Braga have all the power in negotiations as they have tied him down to a deal until 2028.
Newcastle United have an advantage in Roger Fernandes’s chase
The aforementioned clubs linked with Fernandes are huge, and under the current circumstances, each of those could provide a solid environment to develop. However, Newcastle United might have an advantage as they were close to signing him 18 months ago, although the price for the winger might have considerably changed in that period.
Newcastle United had repeated links to the winger, as they would have done plenty of groundwork ahead of a potential signing. In that aspect alone, the Magpies might have a big advantage over their rivals, as the club would still retain relationships with the player’s representatives or even family, as that could play a big part ahead of a future transfer.
