Report: Enquiry made as Man United and Arsenal join race for £30m-rated Joaquin Seys | OneFootball

Manchester United and Arsenal are among a host of Premier League clubs monitoring Club Brugge star Joaquin Seys following extensive scouting of the highly rated full-back.

The Belgian defender has emerged as one of Europe’s most sought-after young defensive talents, with Man United and Arsenal now exploring the possibility of bringing him to the Premier League.

Joaquin Seys wanted by Man United and Arsenal

According to reports from The Sun, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Aston Villa have all submitted formal enquiries regarding Seys’ availability.

Newcastle United also hold an interest in the defender, though they currently trail their English rivals in the race for his signature.

The report adds that Club Brugge are in no rush to part ways with their rising star, who still has three years remaining on his contract.

The Belgian outfit are set to demand €35 million (£30 million) before sanctioning an exit.

It further adds that Manchester United view the left-back as a position requiring a clear long-term solution and will not be deterred by that valuation.

However, it remains to be seen whether Old Trafford decision-makers will pull the trigger on a deal in the current window or wait while prioritizing other transfer business.

Man United have also been offered Djed Spence

As Manchester United evaluate their options across the backline, alternative targets are being presented.

Alongside their monitoring of Seys, United have also been offered Tottenham fullback Djed Spence, who can operate on either side of the defence and is seeking guaranteed playing time.

Who is Joaquin Seys?

Joaquin Seys has developed into one of Club Brugge’s most promising young players after progressing through the Belgian club’s system.

The full-back has attracted attention for his athleticism, defensive intelligence and ability to contribute in possession, qualities that have made him an appealing target for several Premier League recruitment departments.

His ability to operate from the left side has particularly caught the attention of Premier League’s top clubs as well as other clubs in Europe.
