The Daily Mail is reporting that the Premier League duo are keeping a close eye on the Bundesliga forward ahead of the 2021 summer transfer window.

The Daily Mail reveal that Arsenal are looking to sign a striker, with the futures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up in the air.
The media outlet go on to add that Manchester United want to sign a striker given that Edinson Cavani looks likely to leave Old Trafford in the summer.
