It is an open secret that Manchester United star forward Alejandro Garnacho has fallen out of favour with manager Ruben Amorim. The youngster has had a couple of altercations where Amorim has told the 20-year-old to search for another club, and Garnacho is keen on staying in the Premier League.
Earlier, it was reported by Fabrizio Romano that three Premier League clubs have enquired about the young forward. But recently, Tyc Sports journalist Gaston Edul has revealed that Arsenal are interested in the young winger and they are set to rival Chelsea for his signature this summer.
In a season where Manchester United struggled for goals, Garnacho was easily one of their best players with 11 goals and 10 assists in 58 appearances for the Red Devils across different competitions. He is widely considered one of the best young wingers right now.
The Gunners are desperately looking for a left-winger, and Garnacho is someone who could fit the bill for Mikel Arteta.
The Argentina international won the 2024 FIFA Puskas Award and Premier League Goal of the Season award for his acrobatic goal against Everton in November 2023. He has the capability of producing such magical moments consistently.
He has already settled himself in the English top flight at the age of 20 and with the best years ahead of him, he could be a world-class winger for the Gunners if they manage to land the Argentine.

Where could Garnacho end up this summer?
Chelsea and Arsenal are eyeing a left-winger in this summer transfer window as they are eager to improve their left flank. However, Chelsea have recently taken big strides towards signing Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens, and it is unlikely that they would invest in another left-winger.

Therefore, Arsenal have a great opportunity to wrap up the deal. The Gunners are desperately to add a prolific striker this summer, but a left-winger has also been in their plans.
They have been linked with Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and were later linked with Real Madrid's Rodrygo Goes, Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers and Feyenoord's Igor Paixao.
Now, Garnacho joins the shortlist, but as per reports, the 20-year-old could be available for as low as £40 million transfer fee. It is much lower than the £60 million price tag that United had set in the January transfer window last season.
