West Ham, Arsenal and Manchester United look set to miss out on Ondrej Duda as the attacking midfielder appears to be on his way to Serie A side Fiorentina.
The 21-year-old currently plays for Polish side Legia Warsaw and impressed at Euro 2016 for Slovakia, scoring in his country’s first group stage game against Wales.
According to Calcionews24, Duda is poised to complete a move to la Viola for a fee of around £4m, despite Premier League interest.
Duda, who plays as an attacking midfielder and has been compared in style to Paris Saint-Germain’s Angel Di Maria, even earning the nickname “Ondrej Di Maria”, has also been linked with a move to Serie A side Fiorentina and he could have been playing in Italy last summer if a move to Inter had not been scuppered by the Milan’s side breaching of financial fair play rules.
The 21-year-old has played outside his country for the past two seasons, having joined Legia in February 2014 from hometown side Kosice. His consistent performances for the Polish side have helped him break into the national side, where he has scored two goals in 14 appearances for his country.
He has impressed onlookers with his playmaking ability, technique and stamina and would be a solid addition to Slaven Bilic’s side, perhaps as a backup for Dimitri Payet.
