Manchester United and Arsenal interested in Frankfurt defender

Manchester United and Arsenal have joined the list of clubs interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt defender Nathaniel Brown .

The 22-year-old broke into the Eintracht Frankfurt team last season and his rapid progress led to a Germany debut during October’s internationals.

The left-back, who was born in Germany to an American father and German mother, leads the Bundesliga for tackles won this season. Last campaign, no player tackled a higher percentage of dribblers faced (80%) than Brown across Germany’s top division.

According to German outlet BILD , English clubs have now joined Real Madrid in expressing interest. Manchester United and Arsenal are both admirers of Brown, who has featured in a number of left-sided roles this season.

United signed Patrick Dorgu in last season’s January window but the Dane is yet to convince all at Old Trafford. The arrival of Brown would provide a new option, with Luke Shaw used primarily in a back three under Ruben Amorim. United will also lose wing-back options Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui to Africa Cup of Nations duty later this month.

Arsenal are well-stocked defensively, with Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly options at left-back, though the latter spent much of his time in the academy in midfield.
