Arsenal have been linked with AS Roma winger Cengiz Ünder last week as CalcioMercato, an Italian news outlet, named the North London club among other four European giants in a race for the Turkey international. Chelsea, Man United, Tottenham and Bayern Munich are all interested in the 21-year-old too.
If the latest report in Corriere dello Sport, another Italian sports newspaper, is to be believed the Seria A giants are willing to part ways with Under at the end of the current campaign as they have to sell some of the first-team regulars to earn funds for the summer transfer market activity.
According to CalcioMercato, the Giallorossi are set to demand at least €45 million for the talented winger who has scored six goals and provided nine assists in 25 appearances for his club this season so far.

The Gunners were reportedly interested in Under in January and allegedly bid for the player. Having offered £26 million for the 21-year-old, Roma immediately rejected the bid as the transfer fee was too small.
