Arsenal has made formal inquiries to Al Hilal about the situation of Mohamed Kader Meite, an 18-year-old center forward, with an eye on the club's future. The Arsenal's transfer market is focused on improving its offensive rotation.

According to TEAMtalk, the London club requested information about the Franco-Ivorian attacker before the summer transfer window of 2026, keeping tabs along with Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur on a player valued at 18 million euros by Transfermarkt.

Al Hilal's economic valuation on Mohamed Kader Meite's transfer

Al Hilal's board is not pressed to sell the 18-year-old forward, signed with the Saudi team until June 2029. The Riyadh entity invested 30 million euros to secure his transfer from Rennes in February 2026, rejecting offers that reached 40 million euros in the previous winter transfer window.

Having been capped once for the Ivory Coast U-23 national team, he poses a high-cost operation for the British clubs. The Asian board demands compensation higher than the investment made 7 months ago to authorize his move to the Premier League.

Arsenal's scouting department prepared reports on the striker to assess his suitability as a long-term offensive reference. However, Manchester United also made direct contacts with the player's camp to inquire about his wage demands before September.

In addition to this contest, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur sent scouts to Saudi Arabia to evaluate the attacker's progress. Arsenal sees this operation as a strategic target for the year 2027, although they will need to surpass the economic demands of the Arab team.

Arsenal's technical secretariat analysts will continue monitoring the forward's performances during the Saudi league matches in October and November of 2026. The English club's leaders plan to hold a new meeting with Al Hilal's management in December to decide whether to make a formal proposal before January 1, 2027.
