Chelsea to rival Arsenal for Cengiz Under signing in January

Chelsea have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Roma forward Cengiz Under, with the two clubs set to battle for his signature in January.

That’s according to Football London, who claim the London rivals are both interested in bringing him in.

Under has been in impressive form for Roma this season, scoring five goals and registering four assists.

Maurizio Sarri is thought to be keen on acquiring more quality in wide attacking areas, despite already having Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro in his squad.

Bayern Munich are also in the running to sign the 21-year-old, however, seeing him as the perfect long-term replacement for Arjen Robben.

Under’s preference is the Premier League, though, which means it could be a straight shootout between Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Gunners have been tipped to sign him after a season-ending injury to Danny Welbeck left them short in attack.

Only a huge bid will make Roma consider letting one of their key men go next month.
