I bet every Gooner is happy about the club’s success in the transfer window this summer. The club has been bullish about completing a £200 million plus triple signing acquisition of Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and Declan Rice.
The trio have taken Arsenal to the next level; there’s no doubt about that. Even so, there’s a notion that there are still other deals to be completed, which leads to the question of who are the different quality stars being linked with a switch to the Emirates?
Romeo Lavia
Other than Moises Caicedo, the Southampton man is the most-wanted midfielder in the PL this season. The former Manchester City player stood out in the Saints’ colours even though they had a rough time last season. Arsenal are interested in getting another central midfielder, and Lavia is a player they are eyeing. Liverpool and Chelsea are also in the mix for the Belgian prodigy.

Mohammed Kudus
The Ajax star wants to take the next step in his career, a move that saw him snub a new contract with the Dutch giants. Several clubs are linked with his signature; Arsenal is one of them. The Ghanaian could be an option in a playmaker role and on the attack. The Gunners need to move quickly to get him, considering Chelsea are trying to sign him.

Gabri Veiga and Martin Baturina
Veiga’s links have grown cold, but he is one midfielder Arteta has been eyeing. His versatility makes him a fine prospect for Arteta to bring on board. As for Baturina, his exploits in the Euro U21 have top clubs watching him as they consider him the next Luka Modric. Arsenal are one of the clubs that have taken their time to scout him, and the norm is that Arteta is a huge fan of him.

Muhammad Kudus should be the number one pick for Arsenal. He has pace, is skillful and can score. He also comes cheaper than Lavia.
NOTA, none of the above. NNAL, not now at least.
Any deviation from the documented wish list of Timber, Rice, Havertz and Lavia, has to be someone like the Caicedo kid or Tchouameni.
Am just a little concern about Havertz involvement, there seems to be a genuine problem of how to use the German.
Unless Partey is leaving why are we talking about another midfielder? If we put Jesus, Nketiah and Balogun in a bag and shook them we we still could not make one decent striker. We need a striker not a midfielder.
Why not Write about Andre Trendade, who has been linked with Arsenal?
Just sign Caicedo to solve the midfield problem. It’s crazy to have allowed Xhaka to leave. They shpuld have extended his contract and then allow time for new signings to adjust.
Havertz just doesn’t make any sense. He and Vieira, a combined 100M pounds are likely to help mess up Arteta’s career if he insists using them to prove to his employers that it was money well-spent. Havertz is just another disaster as Viera who is totally lost in the PL.
No Kudus. Don’t have too many African players. Your team will suffer during African Nations Cup.
Kudus for me any day.
Highly versatile and to share the 10 position with Odegaard will give us rich in-depth and dynamism.
If Partey leaves, Kudus would be a great option to compliment Rice, we can’t have our midfield in shambles during the African nations cup,
Havertz had better hit the Gym asap,
Meanwhile, whats delaying outgoing players ?
