Manchester United and Tottenham are competing for the signature of Orri Oskarsson, with Everton also in the hunt for the striker.

The Iceland international joined Real Sociedad from Copenhagen in the summer of 2024. He couldn’t become a regular for them in the first two campaigns but there are signs of change this season.

The striker could play only 20 times last season due to injury, but still found the net nine times in La Liga. In the ongoing season, he has four goals in ten games, as he has three goals in each of his last three starts.

This record has now attracted interest from England, where clubs are taking notice.

Several teams in the hunt

Calciomercato note that the 22-year-old is ‘highly sought after’ by Tottenham and Manchester United. The two clubs are believed to be looking for centre-forwards, as they continue to underperform in front of goal.

Oskarsson’s goalscoring form has attracted them, with Everton also having ‘strong interest’ in the player.

But Tottenham and Manchester United specifically are looking to monitor him during the international break and beyond.

Both suitors are interested in how Óskarsson can play in various formations and can also fit into the wide areas.

The player is seen as a very good fit for Roberto De Zerbi’s system, where Omar Marmoush is yet to make a mark in the Premier League.

Our take: Stock rising but injuries could be a problem

Oskarsson had a thigh injury last year which derailed his progress in Spain. And muscle injuries are not a great sign when it comes to the long-term.

At the same time, the player’s stock is clearly rising. He has 12 goals for the national team, while playing 22 times. That is quite promising and for someone who is only 22, it can only go up.
