Man Utd join Arsenal in transfer race for Cengiz Under with Roma winger cheap Jadon Sancho alternative at £27m

ROMA winger Cengiz Under has appeared on Manchester United’s and Arsenal’s transfer radars ahead of a reported £27million deal.

Improvements in attack are considered vital for both clubs this summer with the Red Devils strongly linked to Jadon Sancho.

Under is one of a few forwards thought to be up for grabs from Roma this summer

However the Borussia Dortmund winger’s high valuation may price United out of a deal this summer, particularly with the coronavirus crisis biting club finances hard.

Under is becoming a player that both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mikel Arteta have an interest in, as reported by Corriere dello Sport.

The right-winger is said to only cost around £27m, less than a third of Sancho’s total fee, and can provide competition to Daniel James and Nicolas Pepe at the respective Premier League clubs.

Fans may be underwhelmed by 22-year-old Under’s tally of three goals and zero assists in 2019/20.

A hamstring injury left him on the sidelines for a number of weeks early on in the campaign, and he slowly recovered fitness and form to cement a regular starting spot after the turn of the year.

Roma are said to be ready to hear out any offer for the Turkish international, who signed him from Basaksehir for £12m in 2017 and is claimed to also be interesting Everton.

Patrik Schick and Justin Kluivert are also linked with moves away from the Serie A side ahead of a potential deal to bring Pedro in from Chelsea.

In fact, Arsenal have been linked with Dutch winger Kluivert as well, in a deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan following his loan spell with the Giallorossi.

Thomas Partey, Thiago Silva and out-of-contract winger Ryan Fraser are all thought to be targets for the Gunners.

Meanwhile, United are tracking Sancho ahead of tense negotiations with Dortmund and Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati is another attacker reportedly on their wish list.

A bid totalling £135m is said to have been turned down for the Barcelona sensation as the LaLiga side demand his full £151m release clause.
