According to some reports, Arteta personally hopes Arsenal will bring in their desired new striker in time for the Asian tour late next month.
Alongside the new No. 9 chase, Link is also seriously re-emerging regarding the potential dive of Real Madrid star Rodrigo.
Arsenal held several discussions on signing Brazil International last month, meaning that between “all parties,” both club officials and player representatives were involved in discussions about the switch to the Premier League.
Rodrigo scored 14 goals and 11 assists throughout 2024/2025, including the Club World Cup campaign. Teammate Jude Bellingham is sure the 24-year-old is the real, most underrated player.
“Rodrigo, you’re so underrated,” Bellingham told CBS Sports.
“For me, he is probably the most talented and most talented player on the team. What he can do with football – we mess around. He somehow flicks the ball. You say, “How are you trying to do it?”
Mikel Arteta personally wants to sign Rodrigo to Arsenal
According to CatedOffside and journalist Mark Brus, Los Blancos ideally wants around £94 million from the best talent.
This, combined with Rodrigo’s £205,000 per week wage, will make him one of the summer’s most expensive signatures in terms of overall cost, but Nico Williams’ pending switch to Barcelona makes it a seriously considered option by Arsenal.
Arteta personally hopes Arsenal will sign a Rodrigo deal over the next few months, and he is considered a huge South American fan who wants Zavia Lonso to ideally remain in the Bernabeu.
This could raise prices even further as Man United and Chelsea have been nominated as other suitors for the former Santos star.
