Mikel Arteta is accelerating Arsenal’s pursuit of his number one transfer target, with Manchester United and West Ham United competing to sign the lethal striker, with Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk showing a Premier League offer for the Barcelona winger. You’ll be glad to hear it’s included. Raphinha.
Putting pressure on Arsenal through midfield raids
arsenal Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen his midfield ranks this summer and is ready to step up his chase at Real Sociedad. Martin Zuvimendiaccording to the report.
Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard are both guaranteed starters in Arsenal’s midfield, and the pair have been outstanding this campaign. However, the third midfield spot looks set to be up for grabs this summer.
Thomas Partey has been struggling more than ever with injury problems and has been limited to just 10 appearances in all competitions. This showed that Arteta cannot rely on the Ghanaian.
Jorginho performed very well in place of Partey, producing several Man of the Match performances and providing a calming atmosphere for the Arsenal side.
However, Jorginho’s future is uncertain as his contract expires at the end of the season. Juventus are hoping to sign the Italian, and his agent has repeatedly mentioned the possibility of him returning to Serie A.
Even if Jorginho stays, he is now 32 years old. This means Arsenal will need to find a long-term successor.
Don’t miss: He is a target for Arsenal centre-backs, a mix of Gabriel and Saliba, and is also a Gunners fan.
The Gunners have been linked with Zuvimendi on several occasions over the past few transfer windows. But there is a growing feeling that the Spanish defensive midfielder could finally arrive in north London this summer.
On April 7th Fabrizio Romano defeated Zubimendi. Arsenal’s ‘perfect’ summer captured. And on Sunday the following claim emerged: Zuvi Mendi is Arsenal’s ‘priority’ signing. To improve the midfield.
Martin Zuvimendi finally ready to move to Arsenal
A report from Spain has now provided an update on the situation. They once again emphasize that Arteta is a big fan of the 25-year-old, having closely followed his progress over the past few seasons.
Much to Arteta’s delight, Arsenal are ready to ‘accelerate’ their pursuit of Zuvimendi and grant his request.
Arsenal are delighted to have satisfied the Spain international’s release clause, which stands at a reasonable €60m (£51m). But the Gunners chief will initially try to sign him for a lower price, with Sociedad ready to consider a bid worth €50m (£43m).
Zubimendi loves Sociedad, having come through the academy and starring in La Liga and the Champions League. But after almost 200 appearances for his first team, this summer represents a great opportunity for Zubimendi to take the next step in his career and test himself against the best players.
After a quiet January, Arsenal could spend big this summer with two more signings following the arrival of Zuvimendi.
Fabrizio Romano confirms Arteta. They want a new left-back to replace Oleksandr Zinchenko.. Potential solutions include Bayer Leverkusen’s Alex Grimaldo and Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez.
Elsewhere, Arsenal are in need of a new striker who can help them push for regular wins. North London side Bologna are well placed to win the competition for centre-forward Joshua Zirkzee.Despite AC Milan pursuing him.
