Arsenal’s Pursuit of 26-Year-Old Bundesliga Ace Nears Agreement
Arsenal is keen to sign Djibril Sow, who has agreed to join Lazio from Eintracht Frankfurt in a €15 million deal.
Calcio Mercato reports that Arsenal intends to hijack Lazio’s agreement for midfielder Djibril Sow.
The Swiss international had agreed to join the Italian powerhouses, but the Gunners’ late interest may have swayed his decision.
Arsenal have already spent over €200 million on three first-team players during this transfer window, but they may continue to add more names.
Mikel Arteta has not indicated that they have completed their business, as they could continue to bolster the squad.
Currently, Arsenal’s roster may contain 29 or 30 individuals, which does not appear healthy.
Rob Holding, Folarin Balogun, Sambi Lokonga, and Kieran Tierney may depart before the transfer window closes.
It is possible that other minor talents will also depart, but this will depend on the offers they receive.
Fans are growing increasingly concerned that Arteta may not have adequately replaced Granit Xhaka.
Many believed Kai Havertz was this performer for weeks.
The German, however, remains a forward and is prepared to supplement their offensive setup.
Therefore, it is uncertain whether Arteta will sign a new midfielder before the transfer window concludes.
Arsenal is rumored to have decided to retain Thomas Partey, putting an end to rumors surrounding Romeo Lavia.
Despite this, there remains a Xhaka-shaped void, and the Gunners may have discovered a way to fill it.
Despite ties to a potential transfer for Moises Caicedo, Arteta has decided to segregate his resources. Mohammed Kudus continues to be linked, and the Ghanaian could fill the vacated midfield position.
Also linked on Sunday was goalkeeper David Raya, and now there are rumors that Arsenal is attempting to steal Djibril Sow.
The 26-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder is close to leaving the club, and Lazio had a €15 million deal to sign him.
With Sow also agreeing to join Maurizio Sarri’s squad, the late interest from Arsenal has caused him to reconsider.
There are now uncertainties as to whether or not the 26-year-old Bundesliga superstar desires to resume a transfer to Lazio.
Arsenal is currently the favorite to acquire the Swiss midfielder and could offer a fee comparable to what Lazio agreed to pay Frankfurt.
Uncertainty exists as to whether or not the Gunners will effectively subvert this move.
Sow remains a quality target who would add significant depth to Arsenal’s roster.
Arteta has a sufficient number of midfielders.
Yet, the 26-year-old Bundesliga star could be a valuable asset to this team’s Champions League return next season.
