As reported by British sports broadcaster Sky Sports, a pair of Premier League clubs are battling for the rights to acquire Turkish international Okay Yokuslu.

Yokuslu, whose playing rights currently belong to Celta Vigo, impressed with his performances for West Bromwich Albion last season, one of the few bright spots for a club who was relegated to the Championship. It now seems that two clubs are trying to bring him back to the Premier League, namely Watford and Wolverhampton. Celta Vigo currently value the player in the region of 5M GBP, a very affordable price for a lad that could end up being a major asset in the next few seasons. 

The midfielder made 16 appearances for West Brom last season, but it was enough to impress the two clubs. He's also ammassed international experience with Turkey, last playing in Euro 2020, where he appeared in every match for his country. We'll see who comes out on top in the end, but they are sure to add much needed quality in the midfield.
