Transfer News: Arsenal eye Manchester United target Hakan Calhanoglu

According to CBS Sport (h/t The Mirror), Arsenal are in the running for AC Milan playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United recently.

A report by Tuttomercatoweb (h/t The Express) mentioned that Calhanoglu has an offer to join the Red Devils. But it now seems that Arsenal interested in the Turkish international, whose contract expires this summer.

That means he will be available as a free agent, granted he does not renew his deal at Milan. The Gunners see Calhanoglu as an alternative to Emiliano Buendia, who was snapped up by Aston Villa for £35million.

Arsenal seem to be making a habit of being interested in United’s transfer targets. The Gunners were recently linked with a move for Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid. The right-back has been eyed by United as well.

Arsenal after Calhanoglu

Moreover, the Londoners are also named in the race for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves – another target for the Red Devils. All the players mentioned above are involved in the 2020 Euros.

So it is likely that more news regarding their future would come out after their respective teams bow out of the competition. As for United, a player like Calhanoglu can be a really wise acquisition.

The 27-year-old still has a number of years left in him and was impressive this season for Milan as well, as he scored 9 times and provided 12 assists over the course of the campaign.

While United already have a more than capable playmaker in Bruno Fernandes, Calhanoglu would be welcome competition in that spot. And not to mention, the Turkish playmaker can also play on the wings.
