Arsenal sent a scout to watch Oscar Gloch in action for Red Bull Salzburg. British media claim that Arsenal has a "huge portfolio" related to the Israeli diamond.

Aston Villa are also in the race, and according to O'Rourke, these are the two leading candidates to sign Gloch this summer. If it is indeed sold for such an amount (or more), he will break the all-time record for an Israeli footballer and become the most expensive Israeli ever (the current record belongs to Mons Davor, who was purchased by Sevilla at 15 million euros)
