Euro Paper Talk: Man Utd Join Arsenal In Chasing Pack For Bundesliga Star; Tottenham Eye Two Targets To Solidify Defence

Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal are all admirers of RB Leipzig midfielder Christopher Nkunku.

That’s according to Fussball Transfers, who claim that while Nkunku has no concrete offers on the table yet, he is attracting a lot of interest from England.

Arsenal are long-term admirers and tried to sign him from PSG before he joined Leipzig.

But it appears Arsenal will have to fight hard for his signature. According to Fussball Transfers, rivals Tottenham and United are also keen.

Nkunku is currently enjoying a productive season in the Bundesliga. He has scored six goals and provided four assists in 22 league appearances, 14 of which have been starts.

His versatility has been impressive, with Nkunku having played in midfield, out wide or even up front.

Nkunku has helped Leipzig establish themselves as the best of the rest behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season. But their successful campaign means a lot of their top talent could be poached.

Dayot Upamecano has already agreed to move to Bayern in the summer. The likes of Ibrahima Konate, Dani Olmo and Marcel Sabitzer have also been linked with exits.

Nkunku could also move on after a productive season. The report adds that his agent Pini Zahavi has also been in talks with Barcelona.

A transfer will not come cheap. The right-footer is under contract until 2024 and Leipzig will demand a sum significantly higher than the €13m they paid for him.

Elneny Eyeing New Contract At Arsenal After Earning Second Chance Under Arteta

The Egyptian midfielder spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Besiktas but has been welcomed back into the Gunners fold by a Spanish tactician Mohamed Elneny is looking to complete a remarkable turnaround at Arsenal by landing himself a contract extension. The Egyptian midfielder appeared destined to be heading for the exits when Unai Emery sent him out on loan to Besiktas at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, with alternative options being favoured in north London. Another Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has found room for the 28-year-old within his plans, though, and it could be that fresh terms are now thrashed out at Emirates Stadium. What has been said? Elneny has said in the Evening Standard: “Of course, for me I am always loyal to Arsenal. “And if Arsenal say to me: ‘Sign a new contract’, of course I would be happy to do this.” When does Elneny’s current deal expire? Arsenal snapped up a hard-working performer from FC Basel in January 2016. Elneny has taken in 119 appearances for the...

Two Premier League Clubs Want On-Loan Arsenal Man

Crystal Palace and Leeds United are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the summer. The Arsenal man has spent this second half of the season on loan at West Brom after finding first-team chances scarce at the Emirates. He could have joined several teams but chose Sam Allardyce’s struggling side because they guaranteed him minutes in midfield. He has been an ever-present in their team since he made the move from the Emirates. It remains unclear if his performances have earned him the right to get more playing time at Arsenal next season. However, if the Gunners decide that he can leave, the two Premier League teams will pounce to sign him, according to Mirror Football. They face competition from AS Monaco from outside, but he is likely to choose an England stay. Leeds has been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season. Palace is looking to reduce the average age of their squad when the transfer window reopens again and they consider him to be one ...

Arsenal Started Negotiations With 19-Year-Old Brazilian Striker

Kaio Jorge has become a hot property in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window. The Brazilian centre-forward is being chased by Arsenal and Chelsea among several other top European teams, with his contract with Santos running out in December. Kaio joined the Santos academy in 2012 at the age of 10 before making rapid strides within the youth setup. Jorge made such a quick impression on his youth bosses that he ended up making his first-team debut in 2018 while still only 16. Since then, he has progressed considerably and has gone on to play 50 further games for Santos. The Brazilian club, though, are in a precarious position over the future of the 19-year-old striker, whose current deal will expire when the year ends. This situation has alerted a number of top clubs in Europe, including Gunners and Chelsea, to the possible availability of the 19-year-old striker. Gunners are set to be forced into the market for a striker owing to the uncertain future of Ale...
