Arsenal identify ‘top three’ targets including £70m Brighton ace and ‘interest’ shown in Real Madrid man
Yesterday, Manchester City, who are competing with Arsenal for the title, set the tempo by defeating Liverpool 4-1 in the first domestic top-flight game after the international break.
At 3 pm, Arsenal had the opportunity to regain their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, and they did so by securing a 4-1 victory against Leeds United. In the meantime, numerous transfer rumors have been circulating behind the scenes.
According to reports, Arsenal has pinpointed three current Premier League players who they believe could enhance their midfield for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Additionally, there are rumors that Arsenal is interested in a Real Madrid player, but the Spanish giants would reportedly only consider a deal for a fee exceeding £50m. These are the most recent transfer news stories regarding Arsenal as of Sunday, April 2.
Arsenal’s ‘three-man shopping list’ revealed including £70m Brighton star
As per a report by Football Insider, Arsenal has created a list of three midfielders they are targeting for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The three players on the list are Moises Caicedo from Brighton, Declan Rice from West Ham, and Amadou Onana from Everton. In January, Arsenal allegedly made a £70m bid for Caicedo, which was turned down by Brighton, but they may make a fresh attempt to sign the young midfielder in the next transfer window.
Amadou Onana is another player that Arsenal has reportedly been interested in for a significant period.
Meanwhile, Declan Rice’s future is anticipated to be one of the most significant talking points at the conclusion of this season. Earlier reports have indicated that Arsenal is willing to make a bid of £100m for Rice, which would meet West Ham’s valuation of the talented English midfielder.
Arsenal ‘interested’ in Real Madrid player but Spanish side won’t sell cheap
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Arsenal is interested in signing Ferland Mendy, the left-back for Real Madrid, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, Real Madrid is believed to have a high valuation of the Frenchman, and they will only consider selling him for a price exceeding £50m.
Newcastle United and Manchester City are also rumored to be interested in the defender. Despite Mendy being a significant signing for Arsenal, the Gunners already have depth at left-back, so it is improbable that they would prioritize a high-priced transfer for that position.
