Manchester United is reportedly intensifying its efforts to sign Sacha Boey, and their interest threatens Arsenal’s hopes of acquiring the Galatasaray player.
Boey has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months, and the club appeared to be closing in on a move for him during the previous transfer window. However, he remained in Turkey, where Arsenal continued to monitor his progress in anticipation of the next summer transfer window.
Now, the Daily Mail reports that Manchester United is equally keen on adding Boey to their squad, and they have been closely following his performances. The Red Devils are ramping up their efforts to secure his signature and are aware of Arsenal’s interest in the player.
Both Premier League clubs are set to compete for Boey’s services when the opportunity arises, and Arsenal will be determined not to lose out in the race for his signature.
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have scouted Boey for several weeks, so it does not make sense that we could lose him to United.
Both clubs are top clubs and he will struggle to choose one, but if we make him feel assured that we are the right club to continue his development, he will choose us.
If that isn’t the case, we must look for another player to bring to the Emirates for our right-back spot.
Arteta must make a good decision by bringing a real top nine (9) in January in the mode of Haaland, Victor Osimihen, Victor Boniface and of course Harry Kane there are more good strikers now Ivan Tony is an option
Boey looks like a very tenacious defender. If the quoted price is 20 million, I’d say go for it.
A midfielder and a forward are urgent though.
Nelson needs to improve, otherwise a right winger is needed to cover Saka. Above all, a Tall Tough 20 goal a season TargetMan is the priority, as Nketiah cannot compete against strong opposition. These are the two priority positions needed when all players are well and back from injury. We will need cover for other positions if certain players are first sold before we replace them. Sell Kai to a German club as thet value him more over there, or use him in a swap deal to hide his embarrassing price tag.
I recently saw Boey play a complete game, and was very impressed, and can see why he’s in such demand. I would imagine that he would displace Ben White, who in my opinion’s done nothing wrong, and it would weaken the English element to the team, but I don’t suppose that’s a concern for Arteta.
Timber is Whites replacement long term. I dont see us after Boey.
