RUMORS: Bedoya to Premier League This Summer?

English rag, The Daily Mail, is  reporting that several EPL clubs are interested in signing Alejandro Bedoya. Here is the report

 Alejandro has had a pretty good year so far at Nantes He has scored four goals this campaign, including two in the Cup, and was unfortunate to have one ruled out for offside against Monaco

"Bedoya is under contract until 2019 at the eight-placed French club and is valued at around £3million. However, the lure of playing in the Premier League is expected to see the New Jersey-born attacker turn his back on French football"

Well, that's to be seen, categorize this as a rumor, for now.

Alejandro Bedoya saved Nantes in the French Coupe de France. As is often the case A-List teams put out a reserve (B) squad when playing minnows in cup games, and as often happens they get bit!
Nantes found themselves going into ET following a goalless draw after 90 minutes against CFA (5th tier) minnows Mantes - careful with the names :) - Alejandro came off the bench at 105 min...for the 2nd half of ET, and promptly scored in minute 107, giving his team the win. Final: Mantes 0 - 1 Nantes
