Man United and Tottenham Target Real Sociedad Striker Orri Óskarsson Amid Haaland‑Level Form
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Real Sociedad forward Orri Óskarsson for a January transfer, fueled by his explosive goal‑scoring run in Spain.
A report from the Italian outlet Calciomercato indicates that both clubs have expressed strong interest in signing the 22‑year‑old Icelandic international during the winter transfer window.
Arsenal require a new attacker as central defender Benjamin Sesko recovers slowly from a long‑term knee injury while striker Matheus Cunha has contributed only a single league goal.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is looking for a central striker to fit his tactical system; the £50 million summer addition Omar Marmoush has lacked form, while under‑performing Dominic Solanke and the unavailable Richarlison add to his concerns.
The report further notes that Real Sociedad hopes to secure the forward with a bid exceeding €20 million, as he remains under contract through 2030.
