Arsenal are once again active in the transfer market. After a season where squad depth was tested, they’re now looking to add more firepower out wide.
But they’re not the only ones watching a Premier League winger who just had a brilliant season.
The player in question helped his team qualify for Europe. He scored six goals and provided 12 assists, impressive numbers for a club outside the traditional top six.
His speed, energy, and creativity have caught the eye of several top clubs.
Arsenal eye Premier League forward as Newcastle see £45m bid rejected
Newcastle United have already made a move. They submitted an offer of around £45 million. But that bid was turned down. The Magpies are already preparing a second bid for the player.
The player’s current club believes he’s worth much more, closer to £60 million. Despite that, interest continues to grow.
Arsenal haven’t made a formal move yet, but he’s been on their radar for some time.
Their recruitment team has been busy scouting several options in attack. And this winger is one of them.
But Arsenal and Newcastle aren’t alone. Tottenham Hotspur are also monitoring the situation. They’ve been linked with other attackers too, including Mohammed Kudus from West Ham.
Chelsea are in the mix as well. They’ve already signed two forwards this summer but are still open to adding one more.
Even Aston Villa are watching closely. They lost out on Alex Baena and are looking for fresh options.
Villa are expected to sell Leon Bailey and move on from some older players.
That opens up space in their squad and this young winger could be the ideal fit. There’s a reason so many clubs are circling.
According to TBR Football, the player everyone wants is Anthony Elanga.
After a standout year at Nottingham Forest, he’s in demand.
Whether Arsenal go all in remains to be seen. But one thing’s clear, Elanga’s future is one of the stories to watch for this transfer window.
