Manchester United are keeping tabs on numerous midfielders ahead of what promises to be a busy transfer window.
Options
Huge names such as Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali have all been mentioned in recent weeks.
Lesser-known names with Premier League experience have also been listed.
This includes the likes of Carlos Baleba, Alex Scott, Joao Gomes and Mateus Fernandes.
Another midfielder with Premier League experience who has also been mentioned with United’s name is Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki.
Sadiki
The club has been linked to the player since last year, as he and his side have had an impressive first year back in the Premier League.
United were said to have interest in the Congo star in January , but Sunderland were not willing to entertain a deal at that stage of the season.
What’s more, earlier reports have suggested that United and Chelsea are the teams who are most serious about bringing in the high-energy midfielder.
New reports
The Journal reports that Sunderland “face a tough battle to keep” Sadiki this summer.
The report adds that, “SadÂiki is attractÂing strong attenÂtion across the diviÂsion, with Chelsea leadÂing the race and Manchester United also credÂited with firm interest.”
It is also understood that it would require a fee of around £45 million to convince the Black Cats to part ways with their star.
Despite Chelsea and United’s favourable position, they are not the only sides tracking Sadiki. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also said to be in the race for the midfielder.
Sadiki has been described as an “outstanding” physical presence who excels at driving forward with the ball and is “complete” from a technical standpoint.
The 21-year-old has played 30 games for Sunderland, providing one assist in all competitions.
