Manchester United inspects 35 million La Liga strikers! British media advises Amorim to introduce Toni and stop trying his luck

After center Sheshko suffered a knee injury, British media reported that Manchester United may continue to strengthen the striker in the January winter transfer window. However, this may depend on the exact nature of Sheshko's injury and whether Zirkzee remains with the team. But reports revealed that Karl Etta Eyong is one of the target players being inspected by the Red Devils.

Eyon, who has just turned 22, plays for Levante in La Liga. He has scored 6 goals and 3 assists in 14 games this season. Among them, 5 goals in 9 La Liga games ranked sixth among the top scorers. Therefore, he has been linked to many giants, including Manchester United and Arsenal from the Premier League. The price of the Cameroon international will not be too high, because his contract stipulates that non-Spanish teams only need 35 million euros to activate the liquidated damages clause and sign him directly.

The forward revealed that he is a fan of Chelsea and Drogba: "When I was a child, Chelsea was the Premier League team I watched the most because Drogba was there and Eto'o also played for them for a year. Chelsea often signed incredible African players. There are many giants in England, but if you can join Chelsea, why not? For me, playing for Chelsea is a dream."

Of course, if Manchester United introduces Eyon, it will bring up two questions. First of all, after Hoylund and Sheshko, will the club take the risk of bringing in another young forward who has not proven himself in the Premier League? Secondly, Ayon is also an African player. He will miss some games at the end of this year and early next year because of the African Cup of Nations.

When Eyon mentioned the African Cup, he made it clear: "If I can score for Cameroon and help us win the African Cup of Nations, of course I will be very happy. Looking back on the first time I was selected for the national team, I still have an unreal feeling. When I put on the national team jersey for the first time, my heartbeat accelerated to 150 beats per minute! I hope The game starts as soon as possible, because then I can calm down. Playing for the country makes me so proud, and I hope to win many trophies with my teammates."

The British "Manchester Evening News" suggested that Manchester United choose a striker with rich Premier League experience, such as England international Ivan Toney. The 29-year-old Tony joined the Jeddah Nationals of the Saudi Arabian Professional League in 2024, but has still been linked to the Red Devils many times since. Now may be the best time for him to join.

Tony played 59 times in Saudi Arabia, scored 41 goals and had 8 assists, and still maintained a good condition. This season, he has scored 11 goals in 15 games, and there are recent rumors that Tottenham are interested in inviting him back to the Premier League. Not only that, Tony also played together with Manchester United's current top scorer Mbemo at Brentford. They assisted each other 16 times in total, helping the "Little Bees" to be promoted to the Premier League and become a quite threatening team.

Tony is worth about 40 million pounds, and his contract with Jeddah National still has two and a half years left. Tony will turn 30 next March, so Sir Jim Ratcliffe may feel the price is too high for his age.

In recent years, Manchester United has repeatedly strengthened its forward line through rentals in the middle of the season, but the performances of Ighalo and Weghorst were unsatisfactory. United said last season they did not move for a striker in the winter transfer window because they were not interested in short-term solutions.

Manchester United's senior management always want a perfect forward, who should be reasonably priced, have rich experience and preferably be in their early twenties. Unfortunately, such a player does not exist, and if there is, the Red Devils may not be able to grab it.
