He featured as a rotational option in his debut campaign at AMEX Stadium, making three goal contributions across all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>However, following Danny Welbeck\u2019s departure this summer, the Greek has featured regularly this season. In six games in all tournaments, he has made four goal contributions.<\/p>\n<p>After showing glimpses of his qualities in the English top-flight, the youngster secured his place in the Greek national team for the September\/October international fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>Now, during a recent interview, Sheringham states (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\/charalampos-kostoulas-man-utd-brighton-teddy-sheringham-verdict\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>) that Kostoulas displayed impressive performances against <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/topics\/arsenal\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Arsenal News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arsenal<\/a> and has started showing signs that he could become a \u00a3100m striker in the future.<\/p>\n<p>He can lead the line, is good in the air, is efficient in finishing off his chances, and is comfortable with possession. So, Man Utd should sign him to reinforce the frontline.<\/p>\n<p>Sheringham said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI mean, to get a result against Arsenal you have to be on top of your game, and everyone in that Brighton team was on the top of their game that day, but for me it was all about the centre-forward, Charalampos Kostoulas. Wow. What a player, and the goals he\u2019s scoring too!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look at Charalampos Kostoulas and I see a striker who is a proper leader of the line. He will be the next \u00a3100 million plus player at Brighton who moves on somewhere else. He already looks on his way to being a \u00a3100 million player, without a shadow of a doubt. Should Michael Carrick and Manchester United be getting on the phone to Brighton? Without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Man Utd urged to sign Kostoulas<\/h2>\n<p>Man Utd currently have Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as specialist striker options. However, Sesko has struggled with fitness problems in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Zirkzee has found it difficult to adapt to the <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/premier-league\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"21\" title=\"Premier League\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Premier League<\/a>\u2019s physicality since joining from Bologna a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Matheus Cunha, <a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/tag\/marcus-rashford\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"38\" title=\"marcus rashford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marcus Rashford<\/a> and Bryan Mbeumo can provide cover in the CF position if needed, but they are more comfortable on the flanks.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, United could do with signing a new striker. Kostoulas is a talented player and possesses the potential to reach the top. Therefore, he might be a shrewd acquisition for Man Utd should they purchase him.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services next year.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--mvp-post-tags--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!--posts-nav-link--><\/p>\n<div class=\"mvp-org-wrap\" itemprop=\"publisher\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">\n<div class=\"mvp-org-logo\" itemprop=\"logo\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/new-logo.png\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-logo--><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Football Talk | Premier League News\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!--mvp-org-wrap-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/238451\/man-utd-urged-to-sign-brightons-charalampos-kostoulas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has urged his old club to sign Brighton and Hove Albion forward Charalampos Kostoulas.
