Arsenal on the VERGE of bringing back ‘Spectacular’ player who left for Nothing in 2019 but now faces challenge from Newcastle
Newcastle United have now joined Arsenal in the race to sign Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah at the end of the season.
That is according to a new report from 90Min, who have been discussing Musah’s future.
They report that a number of clubs are keeping close tabs on Musah ahead of the summer transfer window.
It’s stated that Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have all remained in contact with Musah’s camp of late.
There is new competition though as Newcastle United – as well as Brighton and Hove Albion – have joined the race for Musah.
Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg are also interested with Musah a main in demand.
Musah has a release clause worth a staggering £100million (£88million) but Valencia won’t be receiving anywhere near that price.
Not only are Valencia in financial trouble but they are also in real danger of being relegated from La Liga, which would of course weaken their position.
Yunus Musah has already left Arsenal once
Newcastle have enough pulling power anyway but they may just hope that Musah is done and dusted with North London.
The United States international joined the Arsenal academy as a kid having moved over to London from New York.
Musah spent seven years in the Arsenal setup before leaving in 2019 to complete a move to Valencia.
The move has worked out well for Musah, who has kicked on to become a regular for Valenica and for the USA.
Hailed as ‘spectacular’ for his performance for USA against England at the World Cup, Musah has a huge future at just 20.
Arsenal have understandably kept tabs on their former prospect and are still talking to his representatives about a return.
Yet having decided to leave in the first place, would Musah really want to go back to Arsenal
Newcastle will hope to sell Musah on the idea of playing under Eddie Howe and developing his game on Tyneside rather than back in North London again.
