In a season to forget for Schalke<\/a>, one shining light has been young defender Ozan Kabak<\/a>. The 20-year-old has impressed many so far this season and has reportedly attracted interest from the Premier League.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail,<\/a> Crystal Palace,<\/a> Manchester United<\/a> and Leicester City<\/a> have all joined the growing race for the defender, who is reportedly available for \u00a325 million.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Premier League clubs join a long list of admirers of the Schalke man, however, with AC Milan<\/a> and RB Leipzig<\/a> also reportedly interested.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Fabrizio Romano<\/a>, the Serie A<\/a> leaders are looking to sign a centre-back this month, and Kabak could be an option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chance for Kabak to Escape Schalke Relegation Scrap<\/span><\/h3>\n

As a young defender, a relegation scrap can provide you with plenty of testing experiences which could come in handy. Yet, Kabak, at 20-years-old, will be desperate to escape the record-breaking misery of the Schalke season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The German side are just one loss away from equaling the Bundesliga winless run record<\/a> and sit rock-bottom, set for relegation. Whether it be in the summer of this month, Kabak, with ability in abundance, will undoubtedly be keen to make a move- whether that be to the Premier League or elsewhere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the reported interested parties, perhaps a move to Leicester City would suit the defender the best. Using Wesley Fofana<\/a> as a clear example, young players tend to exceed when making the switch to the Foxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since swapping Saint Etienne for Leicester, Fofana has cemented his place in Brendan Rodgers’ side alongside Jonny Evans<\/a> in the absence of Caglar Soyuncu.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Kabak, should he eventually choose the Premier League and Leicester City, could enjoy a similar rise to that of the French defender’s at the King Power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
