Manchester United have been lacking much needed creativity in the central midfield this season.
Even the signing of former Evertonian Marouane Fellaini has not helped and David Moyes wants Atletico Madrid’s Koke to fix that problem.
According to reports, Man United are confident of luring the versatile midfielder who has a release clause of €19m in his contract.
With Chelsea’s young play-maker Kevin De Bruyne potentially moving to Atletico, United may as well sign their man.
Koke has been in fantastic form this season. His performances have been vital in Atletico’s recent success as they are currently second in La Liga ahead of their arch rivals Real Madrid.
In 15 league apperances, Koke has already netted 3 goals and provided no less than 9 assists.
On the other hand, Chelsea are still looking to lure a top quality goal scorer to settle the strikers dilemma once and for all.
The Blues are linked with €64m Uruguayan star Edinson Cavani who joined PSG this summer and luring him in winter is going to be hard.
However, Chelsea need this world class finisher badly if they want to win the premier league title as all their strikers have been really inconsistent.
Arsenal and Manchester City are also interested in luring him but Chelsea should be favorites if they make serious intent to sign him.
Why? Because gunners cannot afford his hefty wages while City already have top strikers in Aguero, Dzeko and new comers Negredo and Jovetic. They really do not need more.

I think Koke would be the most significant signing for United this season.
Would much rather jave Gundogan and Lars Bender but we do have Nick Powell. Moyes should never have wasted money on Fail- lamely
Are you the spokesman for arsenal?did they tell you they cant afford his wages? Or you are the bandwagon for morinyo
Koke is the kind of player we need if moyes will sign him but am not sure whether he will sign him
I’m certain that Moyes will not sign KOKE bcs Moyes is not the right person to choose and I’m totally certain that Moyes is losing REPUTATION with all the interested players willing to join MAN UTD
