Manchester United are reportedly in a race with Arsenal to sign €10 million-rated Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lammens.
It has been reported that United’s head coach Ruben Amorim has been far from impressed with his side’s goalkeeping department.
Last month saw numerous mistakes and goals conceded from both of the squad’s senior keepers, Andre Onana and Altay Baynidir.
It is especially the Turk who the Portuguese boss seems to not rate and he reportedly wants to bring in stiffer competition for Onana in the next window or the summer.
As a result, Illan Meslier and Gregor Kobel have both been linked with moves to Old Trafford in recent days but another name that has cropped up over the festive period is Royal Antwerp’s Senne Lammens.
CaughtOffside report that United have learnt that the “hugely promising prospect” will “cost them around €10 million”.
Nonetheless, United are not the only team to express an interest in the keeper as CaughtOffside sources claim, “he’s been closely monitored by both Arsenal and Man Utd in recent times.”
“Both the Gunners and the Red Devils could do with strengthening in the goalkeeper department, as the two Premier League giants currently lack depth behind their number one ‘keepers.”
Lammens is seen as an attractive option by both English giants as he could initially come in as a back-up keeper but is seen as having the potential to challenge Onana at United and David Raya at Arsenal in the long term.
In addition, his price tag “shouldn’t prove too difficult” for Premier League teams.
The Belgian keeper has been described as a “superb talent” who specialises in shot stopping.
The youngster was last in action on Boxing Day when he helped his side secure a 2-2 draw with Genk and made an impressive 9 saves in the game, receiving a huge rating on Sofascore of 8.4.
