Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are keeping an eye on Freiburg midfielder Johan Manzambi.
According to Sportboom, the 20-year-old is highly rated in Germany and the transfer fee could be around 55 million euros. The Premier League club are constantly monitoring his situation and are scouting him extensively. They believe he could be an ideal addition for them in the middle of the park.
Johan Manzambi could be a solid addition
Manzambi is not only good defensively, he is also good at driving his team forward and running the ball. He could develop into the perfect central midfielder for all three clubs. The asking price may seem steep for a 20-year-old, but he has the potential to justify the investment down the road.
Arsenal want to add further depth to their engine room and believe the Swiss prodigy is ideal for them. Similarly, Manchester United are also eyeing deals for Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleva, but their signings are likely to be even more expensive. Chelsea also need more depth in the center of the park.

Where will Manzambi end up?
It will be interesting to see which of the three clubs can sign the contract. The opportunity to join them will be an exciting one for Manzambi. It would be a big step up in his career and playing regular football in the Premier League would bring out the best in him. All three clubs have successfully developed young players over the years, which could help him reach his potential.
Meanwhile, he has been labeled a “modern gladiator.” His physical and technical attributes are well-suited to English football and he would be an immediate asset if the move were to materialize.
