Arsenal, Man Utd track Porto sensation

Scouts from both Arsenal and Manchester United were in attendance to watch Andre Silva during Porto's 2-0 defeat to Juventus in the Champions League last 16, first-leg.

The 21-year-old has scored 17 goals across all competitions for the Dragons including four in seven games in Europe.

According to The Express, both the Gunners and Red Devils sent scouts to monitor the forward last night ahead of a potential tussle for his services in the summer.

Silva, who has also been linked with Barcelona and Juventus, is said to have a £51m release clause in his contract inked earlier in the campaign.

The youngster has made himself a regular with the Portugal national team with whom he has already amassed four goals in just five outings.

Arsenal are currently on the search for a genuine striker as they may have to replace contract rebel Alexis Sanchez in the summer, while, United, on the other hand, seek to add a potential successor to veteran marksman Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
