A report stemming from the European media on Tuesday has credited two Premier League sides with an interest in Silas Wamangituka
Who is Silas Wamangituka?
Wamangituka joined VFB Stuttgart in August of 2019 from French second-tier side, Paris FC.
The German outfit are believed to have paid around £7m to bring Wamangituka to the Bundesliga 2.
The DR Congo native went on to play a key role in Stuttgart securing their return to the German top-flight, notching seven goals and eight assists in 29 league outings last season.
And, despite the step up in quality, Wamangituka has also enjoyed a superb start to life in the Bundesliga.
In 22 appearances this term, the 21-year-old, who is under contract at the Mercedes-Benz Arena until 2024, has scored 11 and assisted three.

Everton & Fulham looking at Wamangituka?
And now, such fine form appears to have piqued interest in the attacker from elsewhere in Europe.
According to a report from Eurosport on Tuesday, Wamangituka is being eyed by scouts from both Everton and Fulham.
Some of German football’s top clubs are also believed to have an interest in Wamangituka, though none are name-dropped as part of the report.
There is also no word on the kind of transfer fee which any potentially interested parties may be forced to stump up.
But, if Wamangituka carries on his fine form until the end of the season, it is hard to imagine Stuttgart parting with their gifted young striker on the cheap, especially when considering the length of his current contract.
Would this be the bargain signing of the summer? 😲
