While Arsenal hopes to secure Quansah's signature, they are now facing significant competition from Chelsea. The Blues have already initiated contact regarding a possible transfer, as reported by Football London. Although no agreement has been reached yet, Chelsea’s proactive approach indicates their intent to act swiftly.

If Arsenal does not respond promptly, they risk allowing Chelsea to gain a crucial advantage in the race for Quansah. His consistent form in Germany has made him an appealing option for both clubs, and his prior experience in England could facilitate a smooth transition back to the Premier League.

Both teams possess the financial capability to make a competitive offer for Quansah. The outcome of this transfer battle may ultimately hinge on which club provides the most compelling bid and moves more quickly. Arsenal has been interested in Quansah for a significant period, but mere interest may not suffice to secure his transfer, particularly now that Chelsea has taken the lead with its initial outreach.
