Arsenal, Manchester United 'interested in Ezequiel Barco'

Atlanta United playmaker Ezequiel Barco has allegedly emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal and Manchester United.

Having contributed four goals and three assists from 18 outings in the last MLS campaign, the 20-year-old is being linked with a switch to Europe.

According to Record, Sporting Lisbon are considering an offer for the 20-year-old as they assess potential replacements for Bruno Fernandes.

However, the same report claims that Arsenal and United are also monitoring the situation ahead of a possible approach in January.

The Argentina Under-20s international still has three years remaining on his contract at Atlanta.
