Man United and Arsenal 'fall behind Premier League rival' in race for £34m-rated Greek wonderkid, 18

Manchester United and Arsenal have reportedly dropped behind Brighton in the battle to sign Olympiacos wonderkid Charalampos Kostoulas.

The forward, who turned 18 on Friday, scored six goals and provided two assists this season as he helped the Greek champions to a domestic double.

Kostoulas has represented Greece at under-21 level and won the youth Champions League last year before regularly featuring in the Greek Super League and Europa League this season.

The young star is contracted at the Greek giants until 2030 but has been linked with a Premier League switch, with United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa reportedly all interested, as well as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
