Man Utd watching Arsenal attacking target

Manchester United are keeping a close eye on Arsenal target Kaoru Mitoma ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Japanese made his debut for Brighton & Hove Albion in August last year and he has since evolved into a key player.

He has already registered nine goals and six assists and could be set for a big-club move at the end of the campaign.

Arsenal are already firm admirers of the left-sided winger and The Sun cite that the Red Devils have joined the pursuit.

United scouts have been in attendance at the Amex Stadium this season to watch the 25-year-old play for the Seagulls.

Brighton have yet to make any future decision on Mitoma, but they are unlikely to let him go on the cheap this summer.

The South Coast could hold out for at least £50m to part ways with the Japan sensation when the transfer window reopens.

Chelsea and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Mitoma, who was signed from Kawasaki Frontale for just £2.7m.
