Sergio Aguero has been told that Arsenal would be a “good fit” for him if he wanted to stay in the Premier League after leaving Manchester City, but former team-mate Gael Clichy still expects the Argentine striker to head for Spain this summer.

Sergio Aguero has been told that Arsenal would be a “good fit” for him if he wanted to stay in the Premier League after leaving Manchester City, but former team-mate Gael Clichy still expects the Argentine striker to head for Spain this summer.

What has been said?

Former Arsenal defender Clichy, who spent six years at City between 2011 and 2017, has told Stadium Astro when quizzed on Aguero’s future: “I could see him staying in the Premier League, because he will want to climb to third or second [in the all-time top goalscorers charts].

“He can get there, for sure. Does he want that? Ten years with Manchester City is enough, I think he will move where he can enjoy it a bit more.

“Can he see himself at another English club? That’s the question. He loves the sun.

“I would like to see him stay [in England] to get to second or third in goals, but I think he will move away from the Premier League.

“I think Arsenal is a good fit, in terms of style of play. They play nice football and they create opportunities, but I really doubt he would go there.

“I’m pretty sure he will go to Spain.”
Where could Aguero end up?

The South American has already spent time in La Liga with Atletico Madrid, plundering 101 goals through 234 appearances.

A return to Spain has been mooted, with Barcelona said to be keen on acquiring a proven No.9 with no transfer fee required.

Any move to Camp Nou could see Aguero reunited with international team-mate Lionel Messi – although questions continue to be asked of how long a six-time Ballon d’Or winner will be sticking around in Catalunya.
The bigger picture

For now, Aguero’s focus remains locked on events at City.

Pep Guardiola’s side are in the process of chasing down a historic quadruple, with the first leg of a Champions League quarter-final clash with Borussia Dortmund next on the agenda for them.

Aguero will be hoping to figure prominently in trophy bids, with injury issues having frustrated him this season as just three goals have been recorded through 15 appearances.

Elneny Eyeing New Contract At Arsenal After Earning Second Chance Under Arteta

The Egyptian midfielder spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Besiktas but has been welcomed back into the Gunners fold by a Spanish tactician Mohamed Elneny is looking to complete a remarkable turnaround at Arsenal by landing himself a contract extension. The Egyptian midfielder appeared destined to be heading for the exits when Unai Emery sent him out on loan to Besiktas at the start of the 2019-20 campaign, with alternative options being favoured in north London. Another Spanish coach, Mikel Arteta, has found room for the 28-year-old within his plans, though, and it could be that fresh terms are now thrashed out at Emirates Stadium. What has been said? Elneny has said in the Evening Standard: “Of course, for me I am always loyal to Arsenal. “And if Arsenal say to me: ‘Sign a new contract’, of course I would be happy to do this.” When does Elneny’s current deal expire? Arsenal snapped up a hard-working performer from FC Basel in January 2016. Elneny has taken in 119 appearances for the...

Two Premier League Clubs Want On-Loan Arsenal Man

 Crystal Palace and Leeds United are interested in signing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the summer. The Arsenal man has spent this second half of the season on loan at West Brom after finding first-team chances scarce at the Emirates. He could have joined several teams but chose Sam Allardyce’s struggling side because they guaranteed him minutes in midfield. He has been an ever-present in their team since he made the move from the Emirates. It remains unclear if his performances have earned him the right to get more playing time at Arsenal next season. However, if the Gunners decide that he can leave, the two Premier League teams will pounce to sign him, according to Mirror Football. They face competition from AS Monaco from outside, but he is likely to choose an England stay. Leeds has been one of the best teams to watch in the Premier League this season. Palace is looking to reduce the average age of their squad when the transfer window reopens again and they consider him to be one ...

Arsenal Started Negotiations With 19-Year-Old Brazilian Striker

 Kaio Jorge has become a hot property in the transfer market ahead of the summer transfer window.   The Brazilian centre-forward is being chased by Arsenal and Chelsea among several other top European teams, with his contract with Santos running out in December. Kaio joined the Santos academy in 2012 at the age of 10 before making rapid strides within the youth setup. Jorge made such a quick impression on his youth bosses that he ended up making his first-team debut in 2018 while still only 16. Since then, he has progressed considerably and has gone on to play 50 further games for Santos. The Brazilian club, though, are in a precarious position over the future of the 19-year-old striker, whose current deal will expire when the year ends. This situation has alerted a number of top clubs in Europe, including Gunners and Chelsea, to the possible availability of the 19-year-old striker. Gunners are set to be forced into the market for a striker owing to the uncertain future of Ale...
