Four Premier League clubs target Europe’s hottest striker Serhou Guirassy who has 13 goals in just seven games
A HOST of Premier League clubs are circling and plotting a swoop for Europe’s hottest striker Serhou Guirassy, according to reports.
The Guinea international, 27, shot to prominence during his three-year spell in France at Rennes.
But after an initial loan spell at Stuttgart produced 11 goals in 22 Bundesliga matches last term, that led to a permanent switch in the summer.
However, Guirassy has produced a record-breaking start to this season and his form has caught the eye of several English sides.
The striker has scored 13 goals in just seven German top-flight games, which includes hat-tricks against Mainz and Wolfsburg.
And braces versus Bochum, Freiburg and Darmstadt have helped Stuttgart go second in the table.
That goal-glut has shattered the record previously set by Robert Lewandowski and has so far eclipsed Harry Kane’s eight goals in his first seven appearances for Bayern Munich.
Despite only penning a three-year deal to sign for Stuttgart in June, his performances have led to huge interest.
And 90min claims that both West Ham and Brentford have sent scouts to watch him in action.
But they face competition from elsewhere in the Premier League should they try to make a move.

The report also claims that Crystal Palace and Bournemouth are “also taking in his recent performances as they piece together their plans” for a potential swoop in January.
Guirassy is also said to have a list of admirers from the Saudi Pro League.
It remains unclear on what Stuttgart’s position on a potential January sale is.
They know his goals could help them secure a return to European football next term but a big-money offer could prove too much to refuse for their prized-asset.
