Arsenal and Manchester United 'battling' for £53m striker transfer and it's not Joao Felix

AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham is the latest forward to be linked with a move to Arsenal during the January transfer window.

The Gunners are said to be interested in Atletico Madrid frontman Joao Felix, although they may face stiff competition with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United both mooted as potential destinations for the 23-year-old. Now, La Repubblica, via RomaPress, have reported that the Gunners, as well as United, are both monitoring the aforementioned Abraham’s situation in the Italian capital.

The England international, who is valued at €60 million (£53 million) by CIES Football Observatory, joined Jose Mourinho's side back in the summer of 2021 before netting 27 goals across all competitions during his debut campaign with the Giallorossi. His former club Chelsea can re-sign the 25-year-old for £68 million this summer, although the Blues have already agreed a deal to bring French forward Christopher Nkunku to the English capital at the end of the season.
