"Pete O'Rourke said: (He's) one of the most exciting young players in the German Bundesliga, four goals and one assist in nine appearances for Koln this season, which has brought him onto the radar of some of the top clubs in European football. I did a story last month on Football Insider suggesting that Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United were all sending scouts to watch El Mala, and now Manchester City are the latest club to show interest in the exciting winger."
"That's no surprise. All the top clubs do their homework on the best young players who are making waves in European football. He has done quite well in the Bundesliga, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the Premier League clubs as well. Manchester City need more quality and cutting edge in the final third, and the 19-year-old will add unpredictability going forward."
"Manchester City have sent scouts to watch the player in action, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to make an official move. Meanwhile, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United need more quality on the flanks as well. All three clubs have struggled to create too many goal-scoring opportunities this season, and the 19-year-old could make a difference for them in the final third."
"The opportunity to join some of the biggest clubs in the world will be exciting for the young attacker. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. El Mala should join a club where he will get regular chances. Sitting on the bench at a big club will not benefit him. It would be detrimental to his development."
Said El Mala, a 19-year-old FC Koln winger, has scored four goals and provided one assist in nine Bundesliga appearances this season. Manchester City have sent scouts to monitor him, while Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have also shown interest. The winger's pace and unpredictability offer potential cutting edge in the final third for Premier League clubs that have struggled to create goal-scoring opportunities. Interest from multiple top clubs raises the prospect of a move, but regular playing time is recommended for his development. Remaining at a big club without minutes could be detrimental to his progress.
