Arsenal Keen On Beating Tottenham For This £44m Winger

Reports coming out of Turkey state that Arsenal have stepped up their efforts to sign AS Roma winger, Cengiz Under.

The prolific wideman who is valued at £44m by the Serie A outfit is being pursued by rival outfit, Tottenham Hotspur as well. The Gunners have been keeping track of him for the past season drawing strong links since the break of the year.

Under started the previous term in hot form, scoring 6 goals and providing 9 assists before a muscle tear disrupted his performances midway. The 21-year-old has shown his pedigree to grow into a top winger and the time would be now for Arsenal to get him.

Unai Emery desperately need to add some width to his attacking lineup and a few of his past deals have gone astray. Ivan Perisic came close to leaving Inter Milan for the Gunners but the Croatian’s asking price could not be met.

With Emery’s modest transfer budget, Nicolas Pepe and Wilfried Zaha are likely to be ruled out of a transfer due to their steep price tags. Under will in no way be cheap but Arsenal are hopeful of driving a bargain.

The lack of Champions League football has greatly restricted them from chasing top targets. The Gunners will have to improve their backline as well if they plan on finishing in the top four next season.
