Sebastian Szymanski, a Polish attacking midfielder with international credentials, has emerged as a prime target for several Premier League giants, including Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Manchester United, as the summer transfer window looms.
Szymanski’s stellar performances since his move to Fenerbahce in the summer have been instrumental in the team’s goal-scoring endeavors, with an impressive tally of 26 goals from midfield already this season. Such form has prompted Fenerbahce to consider tripling their initial €10 million (£8.5 million) investment in the 24-year-old, anticipating a potential bidding war among Premier League suitors.
Szymanski journey to the spotlight began at Legia Warsaw, where he burst onto the scene at just 17 years old. Subsequently, his tenure at Dynamo Moscow saw continued growth, highlighted by a contribution of 13 league goals in the 2021-22 season. However, uncertainties arising from the conflict in Ukraine clouded his prospects at Dynamo, prompting a loan spell at Feyenoord in the summer of 2022. At Feyenoord, Szymanski thrived, playing a pivotal role in securing the Eredivisie title and spearheading an impressive Europa League campaign, where he notched double-digit goals.
The allure of Szymanski has enticed Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester United, all vying to bolster their attacking midfield ranks with his dynamism and skill. While Tottenham initially expressed interest, they have since been joined by Arsenal, Manchester United, and Serie A outfit Napoli. However, Napoli may find themselves priced out of contention, as Fenerbahce values Szymanski at €25 million (£21.5 million), a figure potentially beyond Napoli’s reach.

Scouts from Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham have been dispatched to observe Szymanski’s performances firsthand, with unanimous agreement on his suitability for the rigors of English football. Szymanski’s versatility to cover various midfield roles and even flank positions renders him an enticing prospect for these clubs. Manchester United, particularly under new ownership, seeks young talents to fortify their long-term prospects, a criteria perfectly embodied by Szymanski. Tottenham, facing a shortage of attacking depth, sees Szymanski as a viable solution to bolster their offensive options.
Despite the hefty price tag of around €35 million, the interested clubs remain undeterred, recognizing Szymanski’s current form and immense potential as a worthwhile investment for the upcoming season.
