Arsenal Reportedly Preparing Firm Offer For Bellerin Replacement

According to AS, Arsenal football club are preparing a ‘firm’ offer for Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi.

The Moroccan international had an impressive two-year spell at Borussia Dortmund before moving to Inter Milan this summer.

He has hit the ground running for the Italian giants by recording 12 goal involvements in 35 appearances for the Black and Blue. Although his contract runs up to the summer of 2025, Milan are facing a financial crisis.

Thus, they would be more than happy to let the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi leave permanently to generate some cash flow.

The AS report also states that one of the biggest priorities for Arsenal in the summer would be strengthening the right-back slot. After starting the season with Hector Bellerin, Arteta has used Cedric and more recently even Calum Chambers on the right-hand side of the defense.

This clearly shows Arteta has not settled on a first choice right-back at the Emirates. Bellerin was considering options to leave last summer but was eventually persuaded by Arteta to stay for at least one more season.

Thus, Arsenal will not come in the way of the defender if he plans to leave the London side in the upcoming transfer window.

If Hakimi do end up joining Arsenal, the fans can expect a player who is extremely fast, who can easily run past opponents over the course of a whole 90 minutes.

The 22-year-old has even made a name for himself by penetrating oppenents box, scoring and assisting freely. His crosses are also pinpoint, which would benefit Arsenal massively if they sign a target man.

Even though he is not as good defensively, at 22 years there is still margin for a lot of improvement.

But if Arsenal fail to qualify for Europe this season, they might have to look elsewhere
– as this is a player who deserves to play at the top of the football pyramid.

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...
