Arsenal now attempting to hijack Man Utd’s move for Crysencio Summerville

Arsenal are now looking to jump ahead of Premier League rivals Manchester United to sign an impressive attacking star this summer.

The Gunners are yet to flex their title-winning status in the market, but recent rumours suggest that won’t be the case for much longer. The Premier League champions have got their sights set on the likes of Morgan Rogers and could yet add reinforcements elsewhere alongside the Aston Villa man.

Adding another winger seems to be the priority right now, particularly on the left-hand side. If it’s not Rogers, then it may well be Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola.

With Liverpool edging closer to signing Yan Diomande, those in North London could have a free run towards Barcola in what would be a huge upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

Even after Barcola, meanwhile, there are still other options that Arsenal could turn to. The Gunners seem determined to upgrade their frontline ahead of their title defence and could get one over on rivals Man United whilst doing so – killing two birds with one stone in the coming months.

Arsenal want World Cup star in Man Utd hijack

The World Cup is certainly providing those in North London with the evidence they need to make several moves. According to Foot Mercato, as relayed by TeamTalk, Andrea Berta is leading Arsenal’s move to sign Crysencio Summerville as he looks to hijack Man United’s pursuit ahead of next season.

The Dutchman has been in fine form for his country this summer and made it three goal contributions in two games against Sweden last time out, adding to his goal and assist against Japan in style.

It’s been enough to earn the attention of Man United, who have already made a formal move to sign Summerville, and Arsenal as they look to hijack the Red Devils’ move.

Reports have claimed that West Ham are ready to demand as much as £50m to sell their winger in the coming months, leaving the two Premier League giants with plenty to think about.

Described as a “1v1 monster” by Como scout Ben Mattinson, Summerville is stealing the headlines for all the right reasons this summer and looks destined for a big move.
