Arsenal is currently leading the race for the “world-class” Barcelona star with the same agent as Viktor Gyoker, and Mikel Arteta is personally keen on a creative midfielder.
Despite the Zubimendi Masterclass, gunners are keeping an eye on the new midfielder
After struggling with a set-off with Liverpool before an international break, Gunner responded perfectly against Nottingham Forest, winning a 3-0 victory and signing a particularly impressive summer Martin Zubimendi.
The Spaniards bagged the opening and final goal against the tricky tree, and found the back of the net with a great volley from the edge of the box.
Arteta had plenty of stock in the engine compartment, and the manager was clearly a huge fan of Mikel Merino and trusted him to go ahead with 29-year-old Declan Rice. “Mikel (Merino) comes back after scoring four goals in two games in a very high emotional state. I want to use it when the player is in that moment.
“He wants to play him because it brings something different to the qualities they have and Declan coming in. It will have an immediate impact.
However, according to a report from Spain, Arteta has been looking to introduce another creative midfielder during the January transfer period, with Arsenal eager to sign Barcelona midfielder Fren Kiedejon.
Gunner is said to be a leading candidate for DeJong’s signature despite interest from the Saudi Arabian professional league.
However, the 28-year-old, who costs 75 million euros (£65 million), has yet to agree to a new deal with Barca.
“World Class” DeJohn can take Arsenal midfield to the next level
There are probably some questions as to whether Gunner needs another central midfielder who signed Zubimendi over the summer.
However, it makes sense for Arteta to have a deeper team, clearly, deeper into the Champions League, which reached the semi-finals last season, and De Jung can take their midfield to the next level.
Simone Inzagi suggests that Dutch International could be one of the best players in the world in his position. “Frenkie de John is just a sensationalist and he’s a world class player. Frenkie surprised me on the same level as Ramin Yamal.”
Barca Star, represented by HCM Sports Management, the same agency as Gyoker, has considerable experience at the top level and has 19 goals and 23 assists in 261 games for Barcelona, making it exciting news that he will be heading to Emirates Stadium this winter.
