7M - Manchester United contact Manu Kone's agent as Arsenal and Liverpool make enquiries

AS Roma midfielder Manu Kone continues to attract significant interest from the Premier League.

According to LaRoma24, Arsenal and Liverpool have already made enquiries for the 25-year-old midfielder, while Manchester United are in contact with his agent regarding a potential move.

The player will cost around €60 million following an impressive World Cup campaign, and Manchester United are very keen on signing him. They are in constant contact with his representatives, and Kone would be open to moving to the Premier League if the right opportunity presents itself.

Manchester United need more physicality and defensive steel in the middle of the park, and he could be the ideal solution. They have already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, making it clear that improving the midfield unit is a top priority this summer.

Similarly, Arsenal and Liverpool need more quality in the middle of the park. The French international possesses the physicality and technical attributes suited to English football, and he could be an asset to both clubs. He would help them control the tempo of the game and maintain possession, while his tactical discipline and physical presence would also strengthen them defensively.

The €60 million asking price is on the higher side, and that could complicate matters for any club hoping to sign him. It remains to be seen whether the Italian outfit are prepared to lower their demands and accept a more reasonable fee.

All three Premier League clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done, but they will not want to overpay. They need to strengthen multiple areas of their squads and will be cautious about paying a premium.
