Man United to rival Arsenal for 19-year-old forward

Manchester United and Arsenal could reportedly slug it out over the summer for the signature of Slavia Prague starlet Abdallah Sima.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed an impressive 2020-21 campaign for the Czech outfit, contributing 11 goals and five assists from 18 appearances.

Sima also scored four times in the 2020-21 Europa League campaign before Slavia were knocked out by the Gunners, who are also said to be monitoring his situation ahead of a possible bid during the summer.

However, the Manchester Evening News reports that the Red Devils have also taken an interest in the Senegal international, whose existing deal with Slavia does not expire until 2024.

Sima has chipped in with 19 goals and six assists from 35 games in all competitions this season.
