£8M To Secure One Of The World's Hottest Prospects ...

One of the world’s brightest prospects is being tracked by title chasers Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.

Daniel Opare, 20, of Standard Liege is an attacking right-back who has represented Ghana’s national team and is set to take over John Pantsil as the number one choice. He was a member of Real Madrid Castilla for a couple of years but he failed to impress. He only has one full cap to his name mainly due to injuries but he looks set to become a future star.

His powerful runs down the right is similar to that of Micah Richards as his pace and strength are a couple of his major attributes. All three clubs interested have been linked with other right-backs of late but this youngster is their top target.

They will be hoping to make him a member of their first eleven instantly which shows the lad can play. Liverpool and Arsenal were linked with him a couple of months ago but nothing ever materialised. £8m looks like the target price set by the Belgian club who are struggling to keep him settled.

Opare was a member of the famous Ajax academy where he grew up playing in his teenage years. Chelsea are most in need of a right back I feel as Branislav Ivanovic is more of a centre back and Jose Bosingwa defensively is attrocious. Manchester United have Rafael who is having a great season and now looks to be the established first choice, so they do have a sufficient enough player at present.

Spurs have two decent right-backs in Alan Hutton and Vedran Corluka but they have been strongly linked with Phil Neville at Everton for a while.
