Arsenal have reportedly joined the likes of Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Poland international Sebastian Szymanski.

The Gunners, Spurs and Manchester United are said to have sent scouts to watch the 24-year-old in action for Fenerbahce, according to TEAMtalk.

Arsenal are reportedly keen to bolster their midfield ranks this summer, as are the Red Devils and Spurs.

With regards to Tottenham, the report specifies that Ange Postecoglou is after an energetic midfielder who can arrive late into dangerous areas.

TEAMtalk also reports that Fenerbahce are looking for around £30million for Szymanski, who they think has a huge future ahead of him.

Better still, the player – who played for Poland at the 2022 World Cup – is apparently ready to make the next big step in his career, added the report.

As well as Arsenal, Tottenham and Man United, the likes of AC Milan and Inter Milan have reportedly also expressed an interest in Szymanski.

Arsenal target Sebastian Szymanski firing on all cylinders this season

Although Arsenal currently have a number of playmakers in their ranks – Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Emile Smith Rowe – there’s always scope to look at new talents.

Szymanski isn’t just a No. 10 anyway. He can also play on the wings and even in defensive midfield, so he’d be able to do a number of jobs for Mikel Arteta.

His goal contribution tally this season is impressive. He has 14 goals and 12 assists from 39 outings in all competitions for Fenerbahce so far in 2023/24.

And £30million isn’t a particularly high amount for Arsenal, or indeed their Premier League rivals. This could be an exciting race for the player’s services this summer.
