| Carlos Espi on 12:41 - Jul 27 by JakeITFC | Definitely something weird afoot with this - two relatively ITK accounts (Fabrizio's mate and a local Valencia sports network) have posted and deleted our interest which I think would be a weird thing to do if we weren't interested. Wonder if something is happening behind the scenes as a bit of a coup if we get it done. Worth noting that Bologna seem to be the Italian opponent and they are set to sign Dovbyk so may not need Espi. |
Ultimate no smoke without fire. |  |

Translating the important part...3 clubs willing to pay his release clause of 25m Euros, 2 in England and 1 in Italy, but Espi hasn't decided which club to join... EDIT: Follow up tweet saying the 3 clubs are Ipswich, Hull and Bologna [Post edited 27 Jul 14:16]

3.2k Followers not sure how reliable he is. I would imagine he would have interest from more established clubs than us and Hull. |  |

Bologna have just signed a striker from Roma, so wonder if that’s them out of the race now… |  |

You wonder if the club have used local media to try and quieten down the news. Probably not tbh, in this day and age with agents etc its very hard to keep things on the down low. Phil is suspiciously quiet! |  | |  |

Bologna signed a striker on loan from Roma, but looks like they're hoping to sell Santiago Castro to Roma for 35m Euros; hopefully we can get a deal done before they have that bit of cash burning a hole in their pockets! |  |

| Carlos Espi on 14:40 - Jul 27 with 2324 views | andyblue231 | Got to be honest his videos make him look a tiny bit carthorsey. Takes him a while to dig the ball out and get move the ball. I bow to keener watchers but I’m not sure he can be our number 1. Him, Emersonn and a number 1 would be good though. |  | |  |

There is no Spanish flag on the Hull owner's famous target list, so that link must be below 50% likely :) |  | |  |

Bit of a "free-hit" signing though, as he won't count towards squad numbers as would qualify as U21 |  |

I think him and Emersonn would be a vey decent striker room. 2 players with great physical profiles with lots of room to keep improving. Espi is so highly regarded in Spain. When I saw the initial link I thought there was no chance we would be able to get him due to the hype around him. |  |

Only links to Villa that I see are from some random X accounts? Espi was linked with Lazio, but they can't afford his release clause (karma for not playing the friendly) |  |

Think it is because he follows Villa on Instagram. But somebody said that may be due to one of his teammates from academy joined Villa and he started following then. |  |

In the tweets from Spanish Journos read one that said he has on way to Hull (which would annoy me) but more credible ones that suggest a deal was in place with Brighton. I wonder if that is why they were willing to let Welbeck head to Chelsea so maybe that is in doubt now. |  | |  |

He can’t be that good if us and Hull are his only PL suitors. I’m not putting us down, but that’s a reality. |  |
