Arsenal have reportedly sent scouts to watch Bayern star valued at £65 million.
Bayern attacker on Arsenal tabs
Arsenal is still active off the pitch as they get ready for an important PL match against Crystal Palace. The Gunners are looking to boost their young roster. They are reportedly monitoring the performances of Lennart Karl. The Bayern midfielder, 17, showed his top form during their win over Club Brugge. That was the reason for the headlines.
The brilliance of Karl’s solo goal and composure during the game marked him as an outstanding talent. It is a sure sign of the club’s long-term strategy. It is a desire to remain competitive among Europe’s top clubs for Arsenal. Under Mikel Arteta, they continue to have a strong league campaign. Now, they are already scouting for possible future stars like Karl.
Chelsea join the race
Chelsea, known for aggressively targeting emerging European talent, have also joined the chase. The Blues’ scouting team was reportedly in attendance at the same fixture. They were intrigued by Karl’s technical quality and composure beyond his years.
The teenage player has been through Bayern’s celebrated youth system. He has already become a senior player with ten games, which is quite uncommon for a player of his age. Chelsea are already doing their best to make a new team through new management. They profile him as a player who can supply inspiration and dynamism to their centre of the park for many years to come.
Still, the transfer would be costly. Bayern has rated their young talent at about £65m. This transfer fee is a sign of both his potential and scarcity in the current transfer market.
Author’s Opinion:
Lennart Karl seems to be on the way to fame. It is only natural that the two major clubs of North and West London are attracting him.
