Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United keeping tab on 19-year-old Barcelona prodigy: Reports
According to a report by EPLindex, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are keeping a tab on Barcelona prodigy Mikayil Faye. The 19-year-old is a prodigious talent and is already a fully capped international for the Senegal national team.
Faye has garnered attention after he scored two incredible goals, the first was a long-range strike for the Lions of Taranga against Gabon, and the second was a powerful freekick for Blaugrana against Osasuna. The strikes show that the 6'1 defender is capable of playing at center back or left back and is a potent defensive and offensive asset.
Arsenal are keen to strengthen their squad in their bid to finally dethrone Manchester City as league champions after two failed attempts and could bring in the talented youngster. Liverpool are also in need of reinforcements. With Joel Matip set to depart, the Senegal international would be a great long-term replacement. Manchester United have endured a poor campaign and defensive reinforcements are at the top of their list of needed acquisitions.
All three Premier League teams are therefore keen on a talented defender with Faye's profile. It now remains to be seen who can convince Barcelona to sanction a move for the latest talent to come out from La Masia if they are willing to make the sale.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are out to prove a point against Barcelona legend next season
The Premier League trio of Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United will have a point to prove next season against Barcelona legend Pep Guardiola. The Catalan tactician has turned the English top flight into a personal playground and the trio will have their honor on the line in the next campaign.
Manchester City look poised to make it five wins on the bounce next season, except the trio can get their acts together and snatch the league back. Their prospects, however, look bleak, with Arsenal not being crowned champions in two decades, Manchester United in a decade, and Liverpool only having one League win in three decades.
Guardiola will be confident heading into what could be his final season in England that he will lift the league for the seventh time in a decade.
