Arsenal and Manchester United are monitoring Bournemouth striker Evanilson, with the Brazilian forward reportedly valued at around €65 million by the Cherries.
Arsenal made informal contact with Bournemouth during the summer transfer window to enquire about the 26-year-old, but the south-coast club rejected the approach and made clear they were not prepared to sell.
Arsenal and Manchester United track Evanilson
A report by Hooligan Soccer claims both Premier League clubs continue to follow Evanilson’s situation closely and could consider a move in the future.
Bournemouth are under no immediate pressure to sanction a sale, with the striker contracted until 2029. That lengthy deal puts the club in a strong negotiating position and means any potential suitors are likely to face a substantial fee.
Arsenal are understood to be assessing their options in attack after seeking greater depth in the position during the summer. The club were also linked with a move for Julian Alvarez, but Bournemouth’s stance prevented them from making progress on Evanilson.
With the summer transfer window having closed on September 1, any renewed approach would now be expected to take place during the January window, which opens on January 1, 2027. ([arsenal.com](https://www.arsenal.com/feature/all-the-key-dates-for-your-202627-diary-ai6qf7J3rIW0?utm_source=openai))
Manchester United, meanwhile, may view Evanilson as another option for their forward line. Benjamin Sesko is part of the club’s current attacking group, while Joshua Zirkzee’s longer-term future has continued to attract speculation.

Evanilson joined Bournemouth from Porto in 2024 and has established himself as an important attacking figure for the club. His performances have helped fuel interest from leading Premier League sides, although the reported €65m price tag could prove decisive.
Arsenal and Manchester United will therefore have to decide whether the Brazilian’s qualities justify meeting Bournemouth’s valuation, with the Cherries appearing determined to retain control of the player’s future.
