Manchester United and Arsenal track outstanding £22million Sampdoria star

Manchester United and Arsenal are tracking Sampdoria’s Joachim Anderson, according to reports in Italy. The Danish defender has been outstanding for the Serie A side and attracted interest from Europe’s top clubs. Manchester United are keen to bolster their defensive options with Andersen’s name on their list of summer targets. Arsenal also want to add another central defender as a potential long-term replacement for Luarent Koscielny. Sampdoria are desperate to hold on to the 22-year-old central defender but have set an asking price of £22million, say Calciomercato.com. Andersen has another three years to run on his current contract. He joined Sampdoria from FC Twente two years ago and has gone on to establish himself as one of the best young defenders on the continent.
