Arsenal and Manchester United have reportedly both had scouts watch highly-rated young Shakhtar Donetsk striker Kaua Elias.The 20-year-old has long looked like a hugely promising talent, and it seems both Arsenal and Man Utd had scouts present to watch him score a hat-trick this week.That’s according to a report from the Sun, which states that clubs like AC Milan and Porto also have an interest in Elias, whose asking price would likely be in the region of £30m.It remains to be seen if the Gunners or the Red Devils will step up their interest in Elias any time soon, but it certainly seems like he’s a player worth keeping an eye on.The Brazil youth international broke into the first-team of his former club Fluminense when he was still a teenager, and scored eight goals in 47 games there.Elias has since gone on to score 15 in 47 matches with Shakhtar, and it seems only a matter of time before a club from a more competitive league takes a punt on him.Arsenal or Man United transfer would come too soon for Kaua EliasEven if Arsenal and United have a genuine interest in tracking Elias, it perhaps seems unlikely that they’re going to make a move for him any time soon.Unless the youngster can continue this superb start to the season and score hat-tricks on a regular basis, then he’s probably better off continuing his development at a lower level for a bit longer.More Stories / Latest News“No-brainer” to choose Manchester City over Arsenal, says new signingAug 6 2026, 14:49Report: Arsenal & Man United scouts watch £30m transfer target score stunning hat-trickAug 6 2026, 14:30Source claims Arsenal tried “absolutely everything” to sign Vinicius Junior with historic offerAug 6 2026, 13:55There would be immense pressure at the Emirates Stadium and Old Trafford, and there aren’t many young players who can make that kind of step so early in their careers.Elias would probably also struggle to play regularly for those teams now, so he’s better off staying where he is and getting as many minutes as possible.Want more CaughtOffside coverage?
