Arsenal are also interested in Manchester United target Olympiacos’ Charalampos Kostoulas.

The Red Devils are keen to strengthen their attack in the coming windows as goals continue to be a problem for the team.

Ruben Amorim’s Sporting Lisbon team were famous for their free-flowing style and constant menace on opposition goals, and he will hope he can repeat this trick with United in time.

What’s more, the current issues around Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, after both were left out of the derby, are likely to make it even more necessary that United try to bolster their attack.

In that context, it has been reported that United are scouting versatile Olympiacos forward Charalampos Kostoulas.

However, according to CaughtOffside, the Red Devils are not the only team aiming to make a move for the 17 year old sensation.

“Arsenal are reportedly keen on an exciting potential double transfer raid on Greek giants Olympiacos in January.”

“Arsenal have been left impressed by the two teenagers as they’ve established themselves in the Olympiacos first-team this season, showing what they’re capable of in the Europa League.”

“Kostoulas is also wanted by Manchester United, sources have told CaughtOffside, so we could see an intriguing battle on the cards here as we get closer to January.”

The young Greek star is also reportedly admired by Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach, Juventus and Fiorentina, who are all keeping tabs on him.

The youngster has impressed this season, scoring eight goals in 20 appearances in all competitions for the senior Olympiacos side.

Kostoulas has been described as a player with “killer instinct, great off-the-ball movement, above-average decision-making, timing, intelligence, composure, and flair in the final third”, so it is clear to see why he has so many top clubs around the world vying for his attention.

With the signings of Chido Obi, Sekou Kone and Diego Leon, United have shown they are not frightened to do what it takes to secure the signings of elite teenage talent.
