90Min claim that Premier League quintet Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham, West Ham and Manchester City have all watched Patrik Schick. The Bayer Leverkusen star has scored 16 goals in 14 league games this season.

Schick, 25, joined Leverkusen in the summer of 2020 from Roma and has gone on to shine in German football – his second Bundesliga stint. That is after 10 goals in 28 games for Leipzig during a loan spell.

The Czech Republic international netted only 13 times last season in his first season at Leverkusen, despite playing 36 times. But this season, after a brilliant Euro 2020, Schick has gone on to a new level in black and red.

His form has not gone unnoticed. Indeed, Manchester United gaffer Ralf Rangnick is a fan. But Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham, West Ham and Manchester City have all watched Schick – who has eight goals in his last four.

Schick on Premier League radar: Why Arsenal is his best move…

It is claimed that Leverkusen will only accept big offers for Schick, in the region of £50million. At West Ham, Michail Antonio is crucial to the Hammers – and Schick might have to wait on the bench for a chance.

That puts him off a move, while he is probably below the standards of Manchester City. Everton have Dom Calvert-Lewin, who could leave – but has not done so, yet. Harry Kane looks happy at Tottenham.

If Manchester United are keen, then a move to Rangnick’s side would be ideal – but the report only says Rangnick is a fan. But is his best move is to Arsenal – with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang likely to go.
