SERHOU GUIRASSY has teared up the Bundesliga this season by outscoring Harry Kane – but will now be up for grabs in the Premier League.
The goal-scoring menace has a bargain release clause that makes him an attractive target for many of the top English clubs in the new year.
Guirassy has lit up the Bundesliga this term with his scoring prowess smashing in 14 goals in eight league games.
His name may not be that familiar to Premier League fans yet but Stuttgart’s tiny release clause for the 27-year-old may change that.
The little-known striker has topped the goal-scoring charts across all five of the European top leagues this season so far.
And the Guinean international is the only player in those top five leagues this century, other than Cristiano Ronaldo, to score 14 goals so early on the term.

He has outscored the likes of Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland who are widely regarded as the world’s best strikers.
But what makes Guirassy even more attractive is his release clause is worth just £15million and will be active in both winter and summer transfer windows, according to SkyDE.
And the forward has already caught the eye of some of the Premier League clubs.
Fulham are desperate to replace Aleksander Mitrovic following his £50million move to Al-Hilal over the summer.
