A true top-club hunt! Arsenal and Manchester United battle for Shakhtar's 20-year-old Brazilian star

Kauan Elias is rapidly becoming one of the hottest prospects of the current transfer window.

Details: According to the British outlet The Sun, scouts from London’s Arsenal and Manchester United were personally present at a Shakhtar Donetsk match to assess the performance of the 20-year-old Brazilian forward Kauan Elias. Representatives from both English Premier League giants were thoroughly impressed by what they saw, sending back exclusively positive reports to their clubs' management.

The reason for such intense interest was the Brazilian’s sensational display, capped off by a perfect hat trick. Reports indicate that the Donetsk club has no intention of letting their rising star go on the cheap, valuing his transfer at around £30 million. Meanwhile, Italian side AC Milan and Portuguese giants Porto are also in the race for the striker.

It’s worth noting that the 20-year-old Kauan Elias has been showing tremendous scoring form at the start of the new season for Shakhtar.
