Arsenal is actively pursuing Can Uzun, a 20-year-old forward from Eintracht Frankfurt, who has captured the attention of several Premier League clubs. Known for his impressive performances in the Bundesliga, Uzun has drawn comparisons to Dimitar Berbatov.

The Gunners are keen to bolster their attack and have reached out to 11WINS, Uzun's agency, while also considering another of their clients, Nicolo Tresoldi from Club Brugge. Other clubs, including Aston Villa, Brighton, and Everton, have also shown interest in the Turkish international, with Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, and Napoli having monitored him in the past.

Uzun's market value is on the rise. Initially, he could have been transferred for around €40m this summer, but his consistent performance has led to speculation that Eintracht Frankfurt will demand his full €60m release clause. The club is aware of the talent they possess, especially with Uzun under contract until 2029, giving them a strong leverage in negotiations.

A source mentioned, "Arsenal have had some initial contacts about Can Uzun. I can’t say for sure if he’s at the top of their list, but they like him and they’re not alone in that."

However, doubts persist regarding whether Arsenal would be willing to pay such a high fee for a relatively unproven player. It may be more prudent for them to wait another year to assess Uzun's development and put pressure on Eintracht as his contract nears its end. Currently, Uzun is not pushing for a transfer, but interest from a club like Arsenal could change that dynamic.
