Arsenal transfer news – Mikel Arteta in the market for 4 midfielders

It goes without saying that the position of priority this summer for Arsenal is midfield. They not only need to sign one quality midfielder, but potentially multiple midfielders with Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey likely to be leaving.

Arsenal have been linked with 4 insane Premier League midfielders. According to GIVEMESPORT, Arsenal are certainly operating within the market of Moises Caicedo, Ilkay Gundogan, Mason Mount & Declan Rice. So, the best calibre of midfielders available in the market.

Arsenal transfer news – Arsenal should consider Raphael Guerreiro

With Arsenal already dabbling in the free market with Ilkay Gundogan, what’s to stop them from pursuing another free agent?

Express has suggested that the Gunners should be considering the pre-contract signing of Raphael Guerreiro, who is imminently leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer. I agree – With Kieran Tierney likely to be on his way out after playing his final game for the club yesterday, Guerreiro would be the perfect replacement.

Arsenal transfer news – Edu submits an offer for Matheus Franca

According to journalist Artur Petrosyan (quoted in Football Fancast), Edu has surprisingly submitted an offer for the Brazilian wonderkid Matheus Franca. His initial offer of £15m + add ons has been rejected, with Newcastle also showing an interest.

Arsenal fans really don’t mind when Edu gets involved with transfers for Brazilian players. Look at Gabriel Martinelli, for example. When he was first signed, nobody had a clue who he was and now he’s the best in his position in the Premier League. Arsenal fans will hope that 19-year-old Franca has the same fate.
