Arsenal have expressed interest in signing highly rated Ajax winger Mika Godts, who is also of keen interest to Manchester United, according to Ekrem Konur.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since moving to the Johan Cruyff Arena from Anderlecht in 2023, Godts has enjoyed a rapid rise \u2014 progressing from academy regular to making his senior debut at 17 in a 4\u20130 victory over Fortuna Sittard on April 9, 2023.<\/p>\n From that point, he has continued to build momentum, accumulating a further 102 appearances and scoring 22 goals.<\/p>\n The ongoing season is proving to be his most productive yet, with 14 goals and 11 assists in 35 matches across all competitions for the 36-time Dutch champions, who are battling to secure European qualification.<\/p>\n According to Women<\/em>Arsenal have expressed interest in signing Godts, who is set to become a subject of keen interest when the summer transfer window opens.<\/p>\n While Ajax would like to keep him due to his prolific form, the journalist reports that the Godenzonens have placed a valuation on the youngster between \u00a330 and \u00a334m, with the Gunners now keen.<\/p>\n However, the Gunners are not alone in the race, as Women<\/em> claims that Premier League rivals Manchester United are set to battle with the Premier League leaders to sign the Belgian U20 international next summer.<\/p>\n While an argument could be made on the different qualities of the leagues, Godts has matched and, in some areas, outperformed several Arsenal and United key players this season.<\/p>\n Despite Ajax\u2019s inconsistent season, the 20-year-old has made 67 shots, more than Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s 59 and Bukayo Saka\u2019s 63, as per FOTMOB.<\/p>\n United\u2019s Mbeumo slightly edges him in terms of successful passes with 79.5%, but his 78.8% success rate remains higher than Saka\u2019s 76.6%.<\/p>\n His creativity has also stood out, with 63 chances created \u2014 11 more than the Gunners\u2019 vice-captain and 24 more than United\u2019s talisman.<\/p>\n With a 48.1% success rate, dribbling remains his key asset. While he slightly trails behind Saka\u2019s 53.3%, he is comfortably clear of Mbeumo, who has only completed 30.4% of his dribbles this season.<\/p>\n Beyond his dribbling and creativity, Godts also possesses a relentless work ethic off the ball, as evidenced by his 129 duels won, which is overwhelmingly higher than Mbeumo\u2019s 69, with only Saka ranking higher with 158.<\/p>\n Both United and Arsenal have adopted an ambitious youth-driven recruitment strategy in recent seasons. Godts would be a good fit for either club, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see which of the Premier League giants will win the race for his signature next summer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arsenal have expressed interest in signing highly rated Ajax winger Mika Godts, who is also<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1478,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/osport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
