Igor Matanovic: Update as Man United and Arsenal battle for deal

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Freiburg striker Matanovic, but the club will not sell in January; a move is expected next summer.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have all taken notice of Freiburg striker Igor Matanovic's impressive form in the Bundesliga, where he has scored six goals in seven games this season. However, sources indicate that Freiburg will not entertain any offers for the 23-year-old in the January transfer window under any circumstances. The German club faces no financial pressure to sell after offloading Johan Manzambi to Aston Villa and is focused on their UEFA Conference League campaign. A move for Matanovic is expected to materialise next summer when interest in him is anticipated to intensify further.
