Arsenal Transfer News: Gunners and Blues Chase Henry Onyekuru, Top Rumours
Arsenal and Chelsea will battle for Nigerian teenager Henry Onyekuru, with Belgian side KAS Eupen prepared to let the attacker leave for £6 million.
Simon Jones of the Daily Mail reported a number of clubs across Europe will contest for the youngster with the London giants, including Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and Lille OSC.
Celtic offered £1 million for Onyekuru in January, per Jones, but it appears he could now move for an inflated fee to either the Gunners or the Blues. The Nigerian has been in dispute with his team after they failed to agree a deal with the Scottish champions.
According to Belgian newspaper L'Avenir (h/t the Daily Record), the 19-year-old confirmed he wants an exit from his side when the time is right for him.
Onyekuru said: "Hmm, I cannot yet answer now. I still have to talk to my representatives and we will make a decision this summer. Sure, I’m going to leave this summer. I have an agreement with the Eupen club."
In other news, Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been linked with Arsenal, could be on his way to AC Milan.
Metro reported the Serie A club are due to receive Chinese investment that could trigger a revamp of the sleeping giants.
Aubameyang remains one of the top strikers in Europe, scoring 19 goals in 20 appearances in the Bundesliga, according to WhoScored.com.
The Gabon international, 27, would be Arsenal fans' dream signing, but the club have missed out on many top strikers in previous campaigns.
The new money being injected into Milan will make them a force again, and the stage of the San Siro will be considered a huge draw if the club can afford the wages paid by the best in Europe.
