Manchester United have joined the race for FC Basel striker Breel Embolo.

Blick says United sent scouts to watch the teenager against Fiorentina in the Europa League last week.

Southampton and Barcelona are also understood to have had people watching Embolo while Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with the player, who has scored 24 goals in 67 games.

The report adds that Embolo could have been bought in the summer for around £16million but his price tag may now have increased.
