Valencia face a difficult task to ward off interest from top Premier League clubs for midfielder Yunus Musah in the summer.
Yunus Musah enjoyed a brilliant World Cup with the United States, helping them to the last 16. Valencia recognised his increased stature and opened talks over a new deal late last year, but talks have not yet produced an agreement.
Musah could leave Valencia
However, part of that has been due to the club's own struggles. Financially, the Spanish club are not in the best shape, and fan protests against owner Peter Lim have ignited in recent months.
Performances on the pitch have also played a part, with the club entrenched in a relegation battle in La Liga.
According to latest reports, Arsenal are one of the clubs keeping a close eye on Valencia and Musah's situation.
The Gunners are very much in the market for a midfielder this summer and Musah is a player they already know, as he came up from the club's academy.
Chelsea and Liverpool were among the clubs who were already keeping tabs on him before the 2022 World Cup, which only underlined his potential.
Musah's current contract runs to 2026 with a release clause of €100m but given their issues on and off the field, it is very likely that they accept a substantial offer for his services.
