Arsenal has been linked with Ismael Bennacer as one of their targets for the summer and The Sun reveals they remain interested.
The midfielder was partly groomed at the Emirates and left for Empoli in 2017 before becoming one of the finest midfielders in Serie A as he plays for AC Milan now.
The Algerian is a superb player and one of the first names on the team sheet at the Serie A club.
Arsenal believes he can deliver for them if he returns to the Emirates and the club wants to ensure they do the deal.
Mikel Arteta has some fine midfielders in his group now, but he would need more players to do well in the Champions League next season.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Bennacer has done well since he made his debut in the Italian top flight and it would be great if he performed so well on our books.
The Algerian is one of the finest midfielders around and will challenge our current options to become even better.
However, he will likely not come cheap because he is a key player at his present club and teams from outside England believe Premier League clubs have a lot of money to spend on transfers.
Arsenal needs a minimum of two midfielders in my opinion, a box to box midfielder and a powerful defensive midfielder like Declan Rice.
Those two midfielders are long identified, just not sure Bennacer is one of them.
Declan rice for sure will do better
I’m not sure – I think bennacer might be a great fit for our team. Very well rounded and technically very sound from what I’ve seen. Rice, I’m less sure about. To me, he looks like a centre back with *decent* ability on the ball, but I’m not sure it’s enough for a team like ours. I think we’d see a big difference if rice was playing Partey’s position for us, and not in a good way… (he could fit in very well at Newcastle, though)
We really need to add one good experience attacking midfielder to relief Martin. One experience defensive midfielder to add to existing ones. And another experience central defender. We should let go of Holding. Always get confused in big matches
Adrian rabiot can fit well in arsenal
They are few players in Arsenal should not be the first team player when there’s a derby or important matches like Tierney,Nketiah,Elneny,Fabio,….they are actually lack of skills and failed in passing at most of the times
