Óskarsson catching attention in Europe

The 22-year-old Iceland captain has scored six goals this season and is attracting interest from five Premier League clubs ahead of the January window.

Orri Óskarsson is enjoying his best goalscoring form since joining Real Sociedad, with six goals across La Liga and the Europa League this season. The 22-year-old Iceland captain scored again on Sunday in a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano at Anoeta, continuing an impressive upward trajectory: three goals in his first campaign, nine in his second, and six already this term.

Real Sociedad manager Pellegrino Matarazzo praised Óskarsson's all-round display after the Vallecano win, highlighting his work rate, ball recovery, and intelligent movement alongside his goal. The striker's performances have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs.

According to TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey, Everton—managed by David Moyes, a former Real Sociedad coach—is monitoring Óskarsson closely with a potential January move in mind. Everton currently has only Thierno Barry as a recognised centre-forward after selling Beto to Fiorentina without a replacement.

Tottenham, Newcastle, Sunderland and Brentford are also tracking the Real Sociedad forward. However, the Basque club has no intention of selling Óskarsson mid-season, with the striker contracted until 2030.
