The 30-year-old is valued by Mikel Arteta and clearly he feels has a part to play. There was interest from Saudi Arabia at the end of the previous summer transfer window, and the club are moving to stave off potential repeats of offers from elsewhere.This begs the question of both what happens regarding a wide player being signed in the summer and the presence of Gabriel Martinelli in the side and his own future. The club are thought to be keen on renewing the Brazilian too, and therefore it seems unlikely either will depart.understands could be a market opportunity the club are across, should a deal become possible? Arsenal’s season has been plagued by injuries, particularly to players operating in the final third.
Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Martinelli all missed periods of the season with problems, some for several months and beyond. Adding a couple of forwards, notably a striker and a wide player, is pivotal and it could be validly argued a creative midfield is also desirable.
But note the word ‘adding’, as that is the key. Not replacing existing players like Trossard, but keeping them and adding to the options.
