Karim Adeyemi has been linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old German International has 15 goal contributions this season, and he is on the radar of Arsenal and Manchester United.
According to a report from Sports Boom, Mikel Arteta wants to sign the versatile attacker to provide direct competition for Gabriel Martinelli.
Adeyemi is an explosive forward who can operate on either flank, and he will add pace, flair and goals to the team.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are looking to add a dynamic attacker in the summer, and they have identified the star as a target. They are expected to submit an official offer at the start of the summer.
Meanwhile, the player has a contract with the German club until 2027, and he could cost around €60 million. The player could demand wages of around £150k-180k per week if he joins a Premier League club.
Arsenal and Manchester United have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to pay up. They will probably hope to sign the player for a more reasonable amount. He might not be a guaranteed starter for either club, and they will not want to spend €60 million on the player.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to join the Premier League clubs will be quite exciting for the German. It would be a step up in his career, and he would get to fight for major trophies with Arsenal or Manchester United. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
