Chelsea face fresh competition from City in Under pursuit

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is hopeful that his side can beat both Arsenal and Chelsea to the signing of Roma winger Cengiz Under.

The Express claims that Guardiola has been given rave reviews about the Roma man with City scouts keeping a close eye on his development in Italy.

Under is being heavily linked with a move to the Premier League as he continues to stall on a new contract with Roma.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea have been linked with £50 million moves, with the player impressing in Serie A this season.

The report hints that the wages on offer in the Premier League compared to what he is earning in Italy means that a move to England is increasingly likely.

Bayern Munich are also known admirers, but the German side are unlikely to be able to match the wages that could be put on the table by the Premier League sides.

Chelsea and Arsenal will be hopeful of luring Under away from City’s grasp with regular game time far from guaranteed due to the plethora of talent available to Pep Guardiola.
