ISAAK DAVIES is attracting interest from across Europe with clubs in France, Germany and Belgium all keen to sign him.

The Welsh forward, 22, is on a season-long loan at Belgian side Kortrijk from Cardiff and has scored eight goals in 20 Jupiler Pro League starts.

Davies' impressive displays on the continent have alerted Euro suitors with Monaco, Freiburg and Genk all leading the chase for his signature.

Davies is under contract with the Bluebirds until the summer of 2025 but his rise is likely to see the attacker move on this summer.

Kortrijk are second bottom in the table but Davies' winner on Saturday at second-placed Anderlecht inflicted their first home defeat of the season.

Davies was a youth team product of Cardiff and previously was the subject of a £2.5million bid from Burnley.

While highly-rated Davies, who joined the Championship club at the age of seven, had also caught the eye of Brentford and Southampton.

Uncapped Davies has not been included in Robert Page's Wales squad for the Euro 2024 play-off semi-final with Finland in Cardiff on Thursday.

But the versatile forward has represented Wales at all levels between U17s and U21s and if he continues to keep up his form in Europe then Page will have to take notice.

Cardiff could do with Davies' goals and assists currently, with the side sitting 11th in the Championship.

They are currently eight points off a play-off spot, with the season at risk of petering out into nothing.

Adding to the misery is the fact they lost the South Wales derby this weekend 2-0 to Swansea City.

In more positive news, Aaron Ramsey returned for the Blue Birds this weekend after appearing from the bench.

His fitness will be of huge importance for Wales as they look to qualify for the Euros.
