Manchester United and Arsenal have both recently sent scouts to La Liga club Betis to scout Brazilian starlet Luiz Henrique. With the eyes of both teams on this new star, a fierce competition seems inevitable.
At only 22 years old, Luz Henrique moved to Betis from Fominis this season and has shown amazing talent in only half a season. In 22 matches, he contributed 3 goals and 5 assists, especially in the Copa Libertadores match against Barcelona, where he made 2 assists to help his team draw 2-2, although they lost on penalties and were not crowned champions.
Both Manchester United's Tannhäuser and Arsenal's Adidas have shown keen interest in the youngster and have recently sent scouts to the La Liga to keep a close eye on his performances and developments in preparation for a move. According to transfer market estimates, his transfer value is 15 million euros, but due to the attention of the two giants, his value will undoubtedly climb further.
It is worth mentioning that Manchester United and Arsenal had a meeting last summer, Arsenal originally wanted to bring in Argentinian defender Lisindo Martinez, but was eventually cut off by Manchester United, the player became a solid back-up defense for the Red Devils. Arsenal recently wanted to bring in Mediatek, but was again cut off by Chelsea. It seems that Arsenal is always one step behind. Since Manchester United has no budget in the winter transfer window, and can only increase the number of troops through the loan, if Arsenal is interested in this youngster, perhaps they should make a decisive move.
