As the winter transfer window approaches, clubs are beginning to make moves in the transfer market. Manchester United and Arsenal have expressed their interest in gem Christos Mouzakitis.
A product of Olympiacos' training centre, Christos Mouzakitis is establishing himself with the Greek club. The midfielder has seven starts in his 13 matches played since the start of the season. Aged just 18, he is considered one of the most promising players in the Superleague. And logically, numerous prestigious clubs want to position themselves.
It was journalist Nicolo Schira who revealed the information. Arsenal and Manchester United have expressed their desire to recruit the midfielder. Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and also Napoli are also in the race, but the English clubs evidently have a head start over the Italian champions. Like many young players, Christos Mouzakitis probably dreams of playing in the Premier League.
Manchester United and Arsenal fall for Christos Mouzakitis
The transfer specialist also states that Olympiacos will not let Christos Mouzakitis leave for less than €30m (£25.5m). A fairly significant sum for a player who only has 31 professional appearances. But the Greece international (seven caps) is perceived as a raw talent, destined for a great future. Manchester United and Arsenal are therefore at the heart of a summit clash.
The Red Devils need to strengthen their midfield and evidently, Christos Mouzakitis' profile does not leave Ruben Amorim unmoved, who is nevertheless depriving himself of Kobbie Mainoo's (20 years old) services. The Greek midfielder is a player with characteristics oriented towards the collective. He runs a lot on the pitch and never shies away from defensive tasks. Qualities that appeal equally to the Gunners and to Manchester United.
