Exclusive: Arsenal, Man United & Chelsea battling to sign proven 30-goal striker | OneFootball

Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all have an interest in the potential transfer of Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick this summer.

Sources close to the situation have informed CaughtOffside that all three Premier League clubs are closely monitoring Schick’s situation, with Leverkusen likely to be willing to listen to offers in the region of €30-40m for the Czech Republic international.

Schick has impressed during his time with Leverkusen, scoring 30 goals in all competitions for club and country this season.

It is not yet clear if any particular club is leading the race for Schick’s signature, but all three of Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea are in the market for signings up front this summer.

The 29-year-old could be one of a number of players considering their futures at Leverkusen at the moment, with Jonathan Tah nearing the end of his contract, while Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz could also be names to watch, as well as manager Xabi Alonso.

Schick has been on the radar of Premier League clubs before, and it is now understood that Arsenal, United and Chelsea are showing a growing interest in him after his fine form this season.

Is Patrik Schick the striker the likes of Arsenal need?

Arsenal’s goal-scoring problems have been a real issue this season, even before the injuries to Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Elsewhere, Chelsea also clearly have issues up front, with Schick potentially an upgrade on the inconsistent Nicolas Jackson.

Meanwhile, United need a major rebuilding job and a striker makes sense as one of their priorities after the lack of impact from Rasmus Hojlund and an underwhelming start from Joshua Zirkzee.
