Sheringham urges Manchester United to move early for 19-year-old Kostoulas

Teddy Sheringham has been impressed by the performances of 19-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas and believes Manchester United should act before the forward’s value rises further. The former striker sees the Brighton player as a compelling option for United’s attack and a prospect worthy of close attention.

Sheringham’s assessment is built around Kostoulas’s attacking influence, his leadership in the final third and the quality of his finishing. He believes the teenager could follow the same path as other Brighton players whose performances eventually attracted exceptionally large transfer fees.

The former England forward therefore expects Kostoulas to become Brighton’s next major sale, potentially commanding more than £100 million. For Manchester United, the recommendation is clear: monitor the striker now and consider an early move if the club wants to secure his development and attacking potential.

ColdMath take

Kostoulas is already viewed as a potential long-term attacking option for Manchester United. Brighton may eventually face a major decision over his future if the teenager continues to develop and attract this level of praise.

For Kostoulas, the assessment raises expectations around his next performances and his role in Brighton’s attack.
