Leicester City, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, and Brentford are just a few of the Premier League clubs that have been linked with Matias Soule this summer.
Each of the above clubs has a big season ahead and they will all be looking to strengthen their ranks before the transfer window shuts in September.
Leicester are back in the top flight and survival will be their goal, Villa will want to shine in the Champions League and Newcastle will want to return there after missing out this year.
Meanwhile, Palace need to replace Michael Olise as they look to improve on their solid 10th-placed finish, while Brentford won’t want to be so close to the drop zone next season.
Soule, who currently plies his trade for Juventus, has been one of the summer’s most highly sought-after young forwards, with his club deeming him surplus to requirements.
Prior reports have suggested that West Ham are also in pursuit of Soule, while Tottenham were linked with the 21-year-old earlier this year.
Now, CaughtOffside have reported that Soule has picked which club he would like to play for next season, and which clubs he has rejected as he looks for a new destination.

Matias Soule chooses Leicester over Premier League rivals
As per the report, Soule is ‘believed to fancy a move to the 2015/16 Premier League champions (Leicester) and has rejected offers from Napoli, Villa, Palace, Newcastle and Brentford to do so.’
Better yet for Soule and Leicester, Juve are reportedly ready to accept the Foxes’ £21million offer, while the player has apparently agreed personal terms with the King Power side.
Juve will then use that money to launch a move for Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho, added the report.
Leicester setup and history makes them sought-after destination for targets
And so it looks like this transfer saga is on the home straight, and Leicester appear to be in pole position to win ahead of strong competition.
The Championship can be a difficult league to get out of following relegation, but Leicester finished top of the pile following one of the most exciting three-horse races in recent years.
Although survival will be the club’s main goal next season, their strong team, great stadium, passionate fanbase and incredibly recent history means players will be attracted to join the club.
It looks like this is the case with Soule, and if everything continues smoothly, it shouldn’t be too long before the “here we go” and, further down the line, the official announcements
