Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly among several Premier League clubs that have taken a keen interest in Bologna forward Santiago Castro, who has been making waves in both Serie A and the Champions League this season.
At just 20 years old, Castro has quickly emerged as a promising prospect after joining Bologna last season. Although he initially struggled for regular playing time, his recent performances have caught the attention of scouts from multiple clubs, including Aston Villa, Everton, and Nottingham Forest, who were all impressed during their recent evaluations.
As Castro continues to earn more minutes in Bologna’s first team, speculation about his future has intensified. While Arsenal and Chelsea could be attractive destinations for the young talent, it’s still uncertain if he envisions himself playing in English football.
Chelsea’s transfer strategy under the ownership of Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali has focused on acquiring top young talents, including several South Americans like Estevao Willian and Kendry Paez, who are set to join the club when they reach the appropriate age. This trend suggests that Castro could be seen as a key addition to their roster.
