Vangelis Pavlidis dreaming of Premier League move

SL Benfica striker Vangelis Pavlidis reportedly dreams of securing a permanent transfer to the Premier League, handing Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur an advantage in the race for his signature. Although top European clubs including Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus, AS Roma, and Fenerbahce are monitoring the 27-year-old Greek international, his preference for English football has positioned the Premier League sides as frontrunners if they firm up their pursuit.

Pavlidis has excelled in Portugal after scoring 30 goals last season and registering 14 goals in 13 appearances this campaign. Unai Emery's Aston Villa and Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham are both exploring attacking options, though Benfica's official asking price for a future sale has not yet been disclosed.
