Man Utd and Arsenal jostling to sign Salzburg star?

Manchester United and Arsenal are interested in signing Red Bull Salzburg forward Oscar Gloukh in the near future, according to The Sun.

Gloukh signed for the Austrian giants from Maccabi Tel Aviv in January and within a short space of time, he has become a key player for them.

The 19-year-old has four goal contributions in the current campaign, and it may not be long before he secures a bigger challenge elsewhere.

The Premier League could be his next destination with reports claiming that United and Arsenal were watching him in action for Israel this week.

Salzburg bought the youngster for around €8 million, but they are likely to hold out for at least €25m to sanction his departure in future.

United and Arsenal could face direct competition from Barcelona, who just missed out on landing him before Salzburg earlier this year.

Gloukh is an attacking midfielder by trade, but he can also play on the right wing or in the false number nine role when required.
