Liverpool And Aston Villa After The 'New Boban' Anas Sharbini - ReportsThe second coming of Zvonimir could soon be a feature of the Premier League...
Liverpool and Aston Villa are set to slug it out over Croatian rising star Anas Sharbini, according to the latest transfer speculation emanating from England.
The 22-year-old NK Rijeka captain has garnered a reputation as ‘the new Zvonimir Boban’ (real Boban pictured) in his native land for his unique combination of subtle playmaking skills and solid physique.
Scottish giants Celtic have long been linked with Sharbini, but it is now believed that Villa and ‘Pool have gained the front-foot by virtue of the English Premier League’s status.
The two-footed playmaker will reportedly be available for a cut-price fee of £3m as he only has one year remaining on his contract and Rijeka would loathe to lose him for nothing.
Dinamo Zagreb, Ajax Amsterdam, Hamburger SV and 1.FC Koeln have also been linked with the Croatia Under-21 standout.
goal Filip!??!?!
I think we should sign him just for the off-chance that he is 1/10th as good as the man himself!!
