L’Equipe via The Independent claims that Arsenal has identified Mounir Chouiar as an alternative to Thomas Partey.
The Gunners want to add a new midfielder to their team in this transfer window. They have been linked with moves for the likes of Houssem Aouar and Partey.
Both players are high-profile names and Arsenal will face tough competition to sign them, apart from the high transfer fee that both will command.
Partey has been the club’s top choice, but Atletico Madrid has told the Gunners that they will have to pay his release clause of around 50 million euros to sign him.
Because of this, Mikel Arteta’s side has now turned their attention to alternative players.
The report claims that 21-year-old Chouiar has now emerged as a top target for the London side.
The Gunners will face competition from Leeds United and Wolves for his signature and he can reportedly be signed for around £18.5m.
Mohamed Elneny has started Arsenal’s last two competitive games and he was in fine form for them against Fulham.
He may still be sent back out on loan this summer, but if he continues his fine run of form, the club might decide to keep him and halt their search for a new midfielder.
Isnt he a young winger?
Yep
The author definitely hasn’t done his due dilligence, since Mounir Chouiar is a winger and Thomas Partey is a central midfielder
If AFC are unwillingly to pay the
asking price for TP then IMHO
they should turn there attention
to Ibrahim Sangare. At 23 tender
years the Ivorian has already
played 80 games for Toulouse
and is widely considered one of
the most promising young talents
in France. Although he lacks the
big game pedigree of TP, Sangare
possess the physical, athletic and
technical skill set to dominate the
middle of the pitch. I would
concede he may need some time
to settle in the EPL, but my word
what an incredible talent for a
measly £10M
I’d be more than excited if AFC
passed on TP and were able to
welcome both Aouar and Sangare
to the Emirates.
And Chouiar seems to be ore in
the mold of Aouar than Partey
Agree ACE. He has some of the best defensive stats in the French league. I’m shocked he hasn’t already been snapped up, although I’d imagine it’d closer to the £15m mark.
Here here Ace, fine comments regarding Sangare. Young man is an absolute beast with a mountain of potential. It’s worth the transfer and a year under Arteta’s tutelage; since Arteta was a solid midfielder himself
Since when did a winger become an “alternative” to a defensive midfielder?.
I wonder why arsenal didn’t snap up doucoure from Watford.
He went to everton for just 20 mil.
I had to check current midfielder options some are leaving what will be left I think can and will improve. I want the assist king back rather than tell him he is no good negative comments haven’t helped him on the pitch during the 8 years it affects his performance I wonder if positive comments will do the opposite?. Other midfielders younger less experienced but the only way to get better is to play against better more experienced opponents. Why not try this season with the current players
Even if you got the best midfielders in the world there would be no sure way of knowing they’ll work with the team
as expected why gamble fifty million. In my opinion the team under arteta management is looking very good especially after the last manager I will not mention his name I am trying to forget that happened and I am not talking about arsen WENGER. He was a great manager but more about buying low developing players selling with a profit on top the trophy cabinet suffered. Arteta wants to see trophies and keep profits good a hard job which at the moment he is making it look like an easy task fans wanted more got it in only a few months. lastly Liverpool did your team get two trophies in such a short amount of time? no so the joke is on you 😂😂😂
The Manager should keep the Egyptian and train him specifically and particularly on his ROLE, on the pitch. The Manager should assign amd build him on an identified and crutial Role to give pressure on opponents.. I know that Arteta can do that if he decides to. With his experience and quality, the Egyptian will pick up fast and complement Xhaka at the midfield with Mailand Nile too.
The League I incoming can work with three of them to get the best
Forget about Partey and the Lyon player for now. If in January we still need them then it’s ok then. Think about it. Thanks

Toulouse was relegated from Ligue
1 last season and I believe have lost
there first two fixtures of the
campaign so far. The club has to
be bleeding cash and would be
foolish IMHO to play hard ball
over Sangare. £10-15M is still
highway robbery for a player of
his potential.
Hes no Mustafi…😂😂
