“He explained to me why he prefers to join Arsenal instead of Man United and i already gave him the Go ahead”- Real Madrid star Luka Modric revealed his ‘brilliant’ countryman fancies joining Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal over Man Utd or Liverpool

£5M WONDERKID FANCIES JOINING ARSENAL OVER MANCHESTER UNITED

Arsenal could now hijack Manchester United in their move to sign NK Kustosija talent Dino Klapija with a £5million move in the works.

Croatian wonderkid is now tempted to pick a move to Arsenal over Manchester United.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim that Klapija is now minded to pick a move to Arsenal in 2024.

Arsenal fans may be looking for big additions in order to bolster Mikel Arteta’s Premier League title hopes.

Edu may well fancy landing more talent for the future though and he now appears to fancy signing Klapija…

Arsenal looking to win race for Dino Klapija

Reports from the Daily Mail now claim that Arsenal are moving in to sign NK Kustosija wonderkid Dino Klapija.

It’s stated that the Gunners have now watched Klapija’s last three games ahead of a possible move.

Arsenal are allegedly stepping up their pursuit with a £5million deal now in the pipeline.

The 16-year-old is thought to have a huge future and Arsenal’s interest is thought to have turned Klapija’s head.

Manchester United have been chasing Klapija for months and were hoping to win the race for his signature.

However, Arsenal allegedly appeals more to Klapija with their project now viewed as being better than United’s.

That leaves Arsenal in a very strong position and Edu could now push to land Klapija in the coming months.

Arsenal would face a wait to welcome Klapija

Formerly of the Dinamo Zagreb ranks, Klapija is a young striker who is showing major potential over in Croatia.

Klapija was born in the United States so may face a decision over his international future in the future.

This would be a signing for the future as Klapija wouldn’t even be allowed to play for Arsenal until he turns 18.

Post-Brexit rules mean English clubs can’t sign foreign players under 18, so Arsenal would be setting up a deal to land Klapija in 2025.

Tottenham have struck a similar deal for Hajduk Split defender Luka Vuskovic and compatriot Klapija could now join him in North London in the coming years.
