Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly among several clubs that are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur target Sebastian Szymanski from Fenerbahce.

Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly among several clubs that are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur target Sebastian Szymanski from Fenerbahce.

The 24-year-old midfielder is having an impressive season for the Turkish giants, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists in a total of 39 appearances across all competitions up to this point.

The Polish international caught the attention of onlookers during his time at Legia Warsaw, Dynamo Moscow and while on loan at Feyenoord last season.

Szymanski made the move to Fenerbahce during the summer transfer window for a fee of around £8.5m and is justifying his price tag.

TEAMtalk reports that the talented 24-year-old midfielder is attracting the attention of several European football powerhouses, including Man United, Arsenal and Tottenham, who could make a move for him in the summer.

Both Inter and AC Milan are also understood to be keeping an eye on the Pole, but the report adds that the Serie A giants could struggle to beat their English counterparts to secure the player's signature.

Szymanski's current contract, which runs until 2027, does not include a release clause, and according to the same report, Fenerbahce may be willing to entertain offers in the vicinity of £30m for his signature.

It is believed that sources close to the player describe him as having huge potential and believe that he could play at the very highest level of European football.

With INEOS now at the helm of Man United, significant changes are underway both behind the scenes and on the pitch.

The new minority stakeholders are expected to push for a major overhaul this summer, with a large-scale clearout of players believed to be in the works.

Among those who could depart from Old Trafford are Jadon Sancho, who is already out on loan at his former club Borussia Dortmund, as well as Donny van de Beek, who is currently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Polish international is the second-highest scorer for his club in the Super Lig this season, and he is the most prolific among midfielders in the league, having netted nine goals.

Last season, Szymanski contributed 10 goals and seven assists, helping Feyenoord to their 16th league title.
