Premier League duo Arsenal or Everton might be looking for strikers this summer and Club Brugge’s Brazilian forward Wesley is in fine form.

Club Brugge striker Wesley Moraes has admitted that he is interested in a move to the Premier League after being quizzed about the possibility of joining top flight duo Arsenal or Everton, while speaking to Het Belang Van Limburg.

The Brazilian forward is enjoying the best goal-scoring season of his career in Belgium with 14 goals in all competitions with a further nine assists to his name.

As a result, Wesley has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs with the Sun claiming in December that Arsenal were weighing up a £15 million bid.

When asked by Het Belang Van Limburg, Wesley has suggested that he would consider a move to the Emirates while seemingly confirming that Everton would also pique his interest.

“I don’t want to rule out anything,” Wesley said when asked about whether he would be interested in joining Arsenal or Everton.

“I said that I want to go to England and that’s still the case. I have always followed the Premier League closely.”

Everton are arguably more in need of a new striker than an Arsenal side who can call upon the considerable talents of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.

The Toffees have often started Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack but he is far from prolific, while Turkish international Cenk Tosun appears to face an uncertain future ahead of the summer transfer window.
