Arsenal have now been offered the chance to make a deal for a £50 million Paris-Saint Germain player who Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich are interestingly considering talks for.
The Gunners, after missing out on a first Premier League title in 20 years to the imperious Man City last season, are set to attempt a third successive challenge next season and hopefully go that one step further.
Mikel Arteta could well lose Thomas Partey in the coming weeks, with the 31-year-old thought to be keen on a move elsewhere after limited opportunities last season. The Ghanaian made just 14 Premier League appearances and has entered the final 12 months of his contract at the Emirates Stadium, so Arsenal may decide the time is right to sell him on, four years after his £45 million move from Atletico Madrid.
It’s clear Arsenal could do with an extra body in midfield, despite agreeing to extend Jorginho’s contract. The Italy international proved his worth under Arteta towards the back end of last season, but isn’t exactly one for the long-term at 32-years-old.
In terms of who could walk through the door, Everton star Amadou Onana is a midfield target for Arsenal, with Benfica star Joao Neves also attracting interest from Edu.
