Arsenal and Manchester United are reportedly in competition to sign AFC Bournemouth’s rising star Milos Kerkez this summer, according to HITC.
Arsenal’s Defensive Reinforcements
The Gunners are aiming to bolster their defense by acquiring a new left-back during this transfer window. Mikel Arteta, however, typically prefers using center-backs in fullback roles rather than traditional fullbacks. Despite this, Arsenal has been linked with several left-back options, including Jorrel Hato. Now, Kerkez, a natural left-back, has also caught their attention.
Interest from Top Clubs
HITC reports that Arsenal has shown a keen interest in Kerkez, closely monitoring his progress at Bournemouth. However, Manchester United is also eyeing a move for the young talent. Additionally, Chelsea and Manchester City have expressed interest in signing him, suggesting fierce competition for his signature.
Potential Transfer Battle
Bournemouth, having recently signed the 20-year-old, is eager to retain him. Nonetheless, they might reconsider if a significant offer, around £40 million, is presented. Therefore, Arsenal or Manchester United would need to invest heavily to secure Kerkez’s services this summer.
Manchester United’s Defensive Needs
Given the injury issues of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, Manchester United is looking to reinforce their defense with a new left-back. Kerkez, known for his speed, attacking efficiency, excellent crossing ability, and defensive contributions, fits the bill. The Hungarian player shows great potential, making him a promising long-term acquisition for either Arsenal or Manchester United.
Raw Talent and Future Prospects
Despite his talents, Kerkez is still considered a raw talent, raising questions about whether he is ready for the next step in his career. Both Arsenal and Manchester United might consider other options for strengthening their backlines. Nonetheless, it will be intriguing to see if either club decides to formalize their interest and pursue Kerkez in this transfer window.
