Arsenal is set to rival Chelsea for Mathys Tel, with the 19-year-old forward aimed at relocating Bayern Munich.
This season has been struggling for the playing time this season and has only made three starts in all matches, with Harry Kane, Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman all above him in the pecking order.
As a result, the independent report reports that Tel 'pushed to leave Bayern during this January window'. Chelsea is already connected to Tel this month, while Manchester United has previously been an interest in the teenager.
The report states that Arsenal is also 'investigating a move' for count while they want to strengthen their attacking options with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus who are currently sidelined with injuries. It is said of Bayern that it is willing to let him go on loan, but it is still to see whether they will allow an option to buy in the deal.
“My opinion is clear – we have lost two very important players in Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, so we miss goals, people and options in the front line, it is clear,” said Arsenal Mikel Arteta last week. “If we can get the right player, they are what we are actively looking at, but every player – no.
“We need someone who makes us better and has an impact on the team, it is clear that for the period that we ideally lost, we need some help because we were already short and we are even shorter. The team I still dealt with that, but we have to do what is good for the club. “
Chelsea is also looking for an attacker and has considered a blow to Alejandro Garnacho, with United Open for the sale of the winger for the right price. However, the blues can now focus their attention on count now that he insists on a movement.
United boss Ruben Amorim recently admitted that he is not sure where Garnacho's future lies, despite starting the 20-year-old in their last two games. Nobody knows that [whether Garnacho will leave]”Amorim said to Fulham after Sunday's 1-0 win.
“Everything can happen. He improves in every part of the game: the concept, when I have to defend. I try to find the best position for him, today he played a bit open, not so inside. We need guys who can play one v one.
