What we know
Everton, Newcastle, and Arsenal are reportedly targeting Spanish right winger Owen Emeka. His contract at Granada runs until June 2031.
Several reports indicate the player has a €15m release clause. The interest surfaced on 2 Oct, when Radio Marca reported that Everton, Newcastle, and Arsenal were following the wording. On 3 Oct, Sports Mole and CaughtOffside, along with five other outlets, reported the clubs were tracking him, per Marca. Yahoo Sports also noted that day no formal offer had arrived. By 4 Oct, Yahoo Sports stated that interest had emerged with clubs inquiring. However, Newcastle United News claimed on 5 Oct that while inquiries occurred, Emeka decided to stay at Granada, per Matteo Moretto.
Yahoo Sports says no formal offer has been made yet.
