We have been waiting for his potential to come to full bloom, but now it is exploding.“Big clubs can no longer sit on the fence, they must act quickly before he disappears, or they will be left regretting it.” Lokberg continued: “The completely obvious option in the Premier League is Arsenal.“The player fits their playing style, and the club has a real need. They basically only have Tzolis and a slightly half-hearted Eberechi Eze as options on the left wing. I think Arsenal sit around every day, weighing whether to pull the trigger.”London StandardMan Utd have new wildcard manager target with Carrick sack decision imminentManchester United are considering several candidates as they assess their options for the managerial position, but there are reservations about a number of the names linked with the job.Eddie Howe has for some time been considered the frontrunner for the role, should Michael Carrick get sacked, but The Independent report that the former Newcastle manager is less highly regarded by Man Utd than other reports have suggested.Julian Nagelsmann is the other highly prominent name, though his reputation has suffered following his time at Bayern Munich and with the Germany national team. Man Utd’s interest is said to be driven by the club’s recruitment chief, Christoph Vivell, but others are less convinced amid concerns over Nagelsmann's relationship with players during his time with the national team.A new wildcard name in the frame is Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness, who his appointment would be considered another big gamble after the likes of Ruben Amorim failed spectacularly. The Independent also mention Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler, but it is feared he could find it difficult to replicate his success on the south coast should he move to Old Trafford.AFP/GettyArsenal among admirers for Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion SuzukiReal Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are keeping tabs on Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki following his impressive start at Villa Park.The 24-year-old Japan international has attracted interest from several European giants after arriving from Parma for £30m in the summer.According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham are also monitoring Suzuki’s progress.PSG previously considered signing him, while Real Madrid view him as a potential long-term successor to Thibaut Courtois.
