# Everton and Arsenal interested in Cagliari striker

Everton have reportedly been casting a keen eye over Cagliari striker Han Kwang-Song, but face competition from Arsenal for his signature.

It’s claimed by Italian news outlet Tuttosport, as cited by [Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2017/09/05/arsenal-scout-north-korea-striker-han-kwang-song-6904769/) today, that the Premier League duo are keen to land the promising striker, as he continues to impress at his young age.

Han is just 18-years-old and has already established himself as one of North Korea’s brightest young talents. He is currently out on loan at Serie B outfit Perugia, and has hit the ground running.

The promising forward, who has already received two senior caps from his native North Korea, netted a surprise hat-trick on his debut for Perugia as he put Virtus Entella to the sword.

Everton’s interest in Han is understandable given his potential, however they may face competition from Juventus for his signature, with the reports claiming that they have joined Arsenal and the Toffees in the race to land the striker.
