After making three wise acquisitions so far this summer, Arsenal is still looking to add a fourth.
Thomas Partey is one player whose future will be crucial to the Gunners’ success in the future. Due to interest from Saudi Arabia and Juventus, the holding midfielder’s future in north London remains uncertain.
Prior to the 2023–24 season, Mikel Arteta has been working making the finest improvements to his midfield, including the $135 million ($105 million) acquisition of Declan Rice. The possibilities available to the Spaniard in the middle park are now expanded.
Romeo Lavia of Southampton is a player the team is interested in, but Liverpool have rapidly emerged as the front-runners to sign the 19-year-old. However, Jurgen Klopp’s team might have just given the Arsenal a strategy for approaching the signing.
Liverpool’s first official bid, an opening offer of £37 million ($44.5 million), was reportedly rejected by Southampton yesterday. Personal terms for a move to Anfield are reportedly not going to be a problem, but an agreement between the two teams is still some way off.
Lavia was only signed by Southampton last summer, and it’s believed that they are asking for £50 million ($64.3 million) for the young talent.
