Arsenal handed transfer boost as Bundesliga target is ready for new challenge | OneFootball

Arsenal will target midfield reinforcements in the upcoming summer transfer window due to the uncertainty over the futures of two key players.

Jorginho is expected to leave the Emirates Stadium when his contract expires in June. Thomas Partey’s future is also up in the air.

The Ghanaian international’s contract expires this summer, and sporting director Andrea Berta has been working on a renewal.

Atletico Madrid and Saudi Pro League clubs are waiting in the wings to sign Partey on a free transfer if Arsenal fail to convince him to sign a new deal.

Manager Mikel Arteta needs more resources in the middle of the park if Arsenal are to challenge for silverware next season.

Among the players they have been monitoring is Amadou Haidara, who has been at the heart of RB Leipzig’s midfield for seven years.

The 27-year-old has featured in 220 games for Die Roten Bull, but is ready to embark on a new challenge, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Leipzig are also looking to cash in on him to avoid the prospect of losing him for free next summer.

Haidara is a ball-winning machine thanks to his relentless pressing technique and high-volume tackles, interceptions and blocks.

The former Red Bull Salzburg star has all the tools to be a huge success at Arsenal, and Arteta could get the best out of him.

The Gunners’ investment in midfielders has been productive in recent years, with Declan Rice and Mikel Merino delivering consistent performances.

Haidara could be their next shrewd transfer addition.
