Arsenal has missed out on the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai to RB Leipzig as he signs for the German side.
The Gunners have chased the signature of the Hungarian for much of the last few months as they looked for a new creative midfielder.
Arsenal has struggled to create goals recently, and after they missed out on the signing of Houssem Aouar in the summer, Szoboszlai emerged as a target.
They faced competition from other top European teams for his signature and they have now missed out on his signature.
Fabrizio Romano Tweeted an image of the midfielder with his family heading to Germany, and Leipzig’s official Twitter account tweeted later that he has signed for them on a five-year deal.
Arsenal needs a creative midfielder and it remains unclear if they will get one next month.
Top players rarely get sold in the January transfer window and they may have missed out on the only one that may end up being available this winter.
Perhaps they will have to bring back Mesut Ozil from the cold in the second half of the season to help out because Aouar might be out of their reach at the halfway point of the season.
An article from Ime
Ozil has no future at Arsenal, so better give the minutes to younger players. We actually don’t need a new CAM, since we’ve got too many players who can play at that position
Arsenal just need to try Ceballos and Willian there, since they never had the chance to play as CAM under Arteta’s tenure and Ceballos used to play very well as a no 10
True and agree with you, also they should go for Emi Buendia if they need someone who can add some creativity to the team.
Is he fast enough to run at defenders cause them into mistakes, cards etc.
Our players are very slow. See the trickery of Saka that brought our goal against Southampton. We need such a CAM.
And the rest of the midfield is very slow.
Ozil needs to go, a replacement for Mhiki was needed not Mesut.
Aouer will not be coming to Arsenal trust me, Partey is probably wondering what has he done then Auba/Laca/Xhaka/Willian and the rest of the out of contract players need to go in Jan instead of the summer for whatever fee.
Torreira hates England, get some money for him too!! Bring back Matteo as he has huge potential, attitudes can be changed or mentored by great managers.
This team is going to be in another transition come the summer but frees up alot of wages to buy other players that actually want to try!
With all that outgoing business we have to be able to get a Zaha to accommodate Saka on the other, Eduard from Celtic who can do both what Laca & Auba can, plus is alot bigger.
I would love Grealish but far too much money, who else could do a job for us for a creative maestro?
Erikson
He is damn number 10
And he is just available in nominal fee of 17 Millions
No body mentioned Eberechi Eze, he would be perfect replacement for Ozil, I guess Palace will not want to sale
Haven’t seen the Hungarian kid play do I can’t really say how much of a loss it will be. But as usual Arsenal or too slow and horribly inefficient in identifying their man and pursuing them .We must have been good once. How else did we sign Henry, Van Persie Ramsey, Reyes, Walcott and the Ox. Not forgetting Rosicky who was such an electrifying player in Germany. So unlucky with his long term injury. In those days you could feel the hunger . Please compare and contrast to today . Got no idea.
Easy David Dein was responsible for transfers if i am not mistaken
