‘Mini Messi’ Ryan Gauld hints at move to Premier League club

Ryan Gauld

According to major online tabloids like Mirror, Arsenal are linked with a January move for Dundee United youngster Ryan Gauld. The youngster caught everyone’s eye with some superb performances for his current club. He is a good dribbler of the ball and was touted as ‘Mini Messi’ by the media.

The player himself hinted that if a Premier League club comes up with a bid, he will consider his options of moving abroad.

He said, “At the moment I think I need to stay at Dundee United to progress. To be the best I can be, I need to be playing first-team games.”

“Playing abroad would be the best culture of football for me to play in. If English Premier League clubs came calling now I would have to think what’s best for me four or five years down the line.”

“If I was to go down there I would have to seriously consider what my chances were of playing first-team football and if I was stuck in the reserves would I enjoy that?”

“I can’t just think that it is a big English club and I should jump at the chance to sign for them. I would really need to sit down and weigh it all up and think about what’s best for me in the long term.”

It is believed that a £6 million bid will be enough to secure the signature of the Scottish star.
