Chelsea and Arsenal in 3-horse race to sign 21-year-old LaLiga talent: Reports

Chelsea and Arsenal have entered a three-horse race with Tottenham Hotspur to sign 21-year-old LaLiga talent Christantus Uche. The forward, who plays for Getafe, has been linked with a Premier League move in recent times, with the three major London clubs following his development.

Uche has played in the centre-forward and attacking midfield roles for Getafe this season, scoring one goal in 14 games. However, he is also capable of playing on the wings. According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes.net (via The Hard Tackle), there is growing interest in his services in England.

All three clubs are said to see him as a long-term investment that they could potentially get on the cheap (he is valued at just €5 million on transfermarkt). Chelsea are looking to add some more quality into their attack, as they aim for trophies on multiple fronts, while firmly sitting in the Premier League title race.

Arsenal have been linked to signing a striker in recent transfer windows, and they will need more depth in their attacking areas due to potential injury concerns. Tottenham Hotspur are also intent on adding further depth to their squad as they look to rise in the Premier League ranks.

It is uncertain if any of the three clubs will make a move for Uche in the January transfer window. The 21-year-old will need to continue working hard and improving if he is to get a move to London in the coming windows.

Chelsea show interest in Arsenal transfer target: Reports

Chelsea have reportedly shown interest in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who Arsenal have long been linked to a move for. The Sweden international enjoyed an impressive run last season, scoring 21 Premier League goals, and he has started this season in similar form.

Isak has four goals and two assists in nine Premier League games, which has only intensified rumors about the Gunners' interest in his services. The north London club are chasing the Premier League title for the third season in a row, and signing a striker like Isak could cement these intentions.

There have been reports about Isak's discontent with the Magpies. It is believed that he wants to push for trophies, and with Newcastle currently struggling to do so, a move to the Emirates Stadium might seem lucrative.

However, according to TEAMTalk, Chelsea have now entered the race for his signature. The report has revealed that they made enquiries to determine Newcastle's fee, and the Magpies have requested a massive £115 million to let him leave.

It is uncertain whether Arsenal or the Blues will be intent on paying so much to sign the striker, but with the January transfer window on the way, time will tell.
