BREAKING: Arsenal reportedly ready to seal double transfer swoop
Arsenal technical director Edu can satisfy Mikel Arteta’s transfer demands with a double swoop for Julian Weigl and Myhaylo Mudryk this summer.Information Guide Nigeria
The Gunners have been hit with two injury blows this week after Thomas Partey sustained a thigh injury and Mohamed Elneny picked up a hamstring injury that could see both miss a number of weeks. Arteta has been clear in his desire to add one or two more signings to his squad before the transfer deadline with a central midfielder now thought to be a priority.
Youri Tielemans has long been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, but Arsenal are willing to wait until next summer to secure the Leicester star’s signature on a free transfer, football.london understands.
The Gunners could look to hijack Weigl’s rumoured return to the Bundesliga by securing a £13m deal for the German midfielder, leaving more funds to make a move for Mudryk.
Weigl is rumoured to be on the verge of securing a loan move back to the Bundesliga with Benfica set to add a £13million option-to-buy clause in the deal that would see the German midfielder join Borussia Mochengladbach, according to Sport 1. The former Borussia Dortmund star has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium before and now could be the perfect time for Arsenal to strike and hijack a deal for Weigl...TAP.TO.READ MORE.
The Gunners would be signing a solid option that can play as either a no.6 or no.8, providing cover for both Partey and Granit Xhaka in midfield. The deal would also be a much cheaper alternative to Tielemans, leaving more funds available to pursue a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk talent Mudryk.
