Manchester United in pole position to sign Joshua Zirkzee

Manchester United are reportedly in pole position to sign 23-year-old Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee this summer.

Joshua Zirkzee scored 12 goals and picked up seven assists in all competitions last season, and his performances have attracted the attention of multiple Premier League clubs. Manchester United are now leading the race to secure his signature as per i news, and it remains to be seen whether they can agree on a deal with the Italian outfit.

Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite attractive for the player. He will be hoping to compete at the highest level, and Manchester United could provide him with that platform.

The Red Devils need to improve their attacking unit if they want to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons, and the 23-year-old Dutchman could prove to be a superb acquisition. He has the potential to play for the biggest clubs in the world and regular football in England could help him improve.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool keen on the striker as well

A report by HITC has linked the striker with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool as well. It will be interesting to see if the three English clubs decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. All four clubs would be exciting destinations for the striker, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.

Arsenal need to bring in an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who scored just four goals last season. The Dutchman could certainly prove to be a useful acquisition for them. Similarly, Chelsea need an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, who has not been able to leave up to the expectations. Zirkzee has thus emerged as a viable target.

As for Liverpool, Darwin Nunez has impressed with his performances. But his finishing leaves a lot to be desired. The Uruguayan international striker has not been able to score goals consistently, and Liverpool could use more depth in the attack.

The 23-year-old attacker is valued at £34 million, and all four clubs have the financial resources to afford him. It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. Manchester United must get rid of their weaknesses in order to do well next season, and they must add more quality and depth to the squad before the summer transfer window closes.
