Manchester United is preparing to battle Arsenal for London star

Kevin Schade is one of the most wanted players in the Premier League at the moment, with Arsenal monitoring the German as the Gunners look to ensure that he joins them.

He has been one of the finest attackers in the Premier League over the years and has consistently performed well for Brentford. Schade has continued to improve with every season he spends at the club, making him an attractive option for Arsenal.

Arsenal are convinced that he would do well for them, and it would not be a surprise if the Gunners make a move for him in the January transfer window, as they consider him a top target.

Arsenal Face Competition for Schade

A reason for Arsenal to make that move has now emerged, with Standard Sport revealing that they are facing competition from Manchester United for his signature.

The Red Devils have also been following Schade, and they might not be the last club to join the race. This could encourage Arsenal to try to sign him in the next window, knowing that waiting until the summer could give another club the opportunity to beat them to his signature.

The growing interest in Schade could therefore make the January transfer window an important period for Arsenal. With Manchester United already monitoring the attacker, the Gunners may have to act if they want to strengthen their chances of bringing him to the club.

Schade Open to a Move

Schade is happy at Brentford, but he would be open to joining either Arsenal or Manchester United, considering both are top clubs in the Premier League at the moment.

For Arsenal, his willingness to consider a move could make their interest more straightforward if they decide to pursue him. However, United’s interest means they could face competition for the attacker’s signature.

Schade’s continued development at Brentford has made him an increasingly attractive player, while the interest from two Premier League clubs could further increase attention around his future. Arsenal will be aware that delaying a move could allow another club to secure his services before they have the opportunity to add him to their squad.
