He is highly rated across Europe, and the African could prove to be an excellent long-term investment for Manchester United.He has a clause in his contract which would allow Premier League clubs to sign him for £35 million.Arsenal also keen on Karl Etta EyongMeanwhile, the report from Fichajes claims that Arsenal are interested in the striker as well. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can beat them to his signature. They need another reliable attacker, even after signing Benjamin Sesko. The 22-year-old La Liga attacker could prove to be a solid acquisition. He is likely to be tempted to join Manchester United if they come forward with an official proposal. It would be a huge step up in his career. Similarly, Arsenal would be an attractive destination as well. They are fighting for major trophies consistently. They could use another young attacker to support Viktor Gyokeres. Where will Eyong end up? Karl Etta Eyong, during his time at Villarreal CF, celebrates scoring his team’s first goal.

Both clubs have the platform to help him develop further. They have done well to nurture young players over the years, and they could play a key role in his development. Manchester United have the resources to pay £35 million for him, and the young attacker could justify the investment in future. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
