Manchester United and Arsenal are intensifying their scouting of 17-year-old Mexican prospect Gilberto Mora during the ongoing World Cup, with both Premier League giants viewing him as a potential summer transfer target.
The Tijuana forward has emerged as the tournament’s youngest player and is generating considerable interest from top European clubs following his impressive performances with his country.
Mora’s exceptional play at the World Cup has put him on the radar of several major clubs, with Manchester United and Arsenal particularly interested in securing his signature once the tournament concludes.
Both clubs boast strong histories of developing young talent, which could prove attractive to the highly-rated teenager. However, any potential move would need to ensure Mora receives adequate first-team opportunities to continue his development.
Sources indicate that a deal could be negotiated for a reasonable fee, potentially representing significant value given Mora’s age and potential.
