English clubs keeping tabs on Belgian giant
Union SG’s Ross Sykes is attracting interest from at home and abroad, with several clubs in the Premier League and Championship monitoring his situation.
The giant central defender has been plying his trade in the Belgian Pro League since 2022, winning the title and two Belgian Cups.
He’s featured in the Champions League and was an integral part of the side that nearly won consecutive league titles.
Clubs in Germany and Italy are looking at the 27-year-old, who came through at Accrington Stanley. Panathinaikos have registered interest.
Union are expected to want a fee in the region of £2.5million for a player who regular finds the net from set pieces and has impressive defensive statistics.
