CaughtOffside: Arteta wants De Ketelaere at Arsenal – what it means for Milan | OneFootball

Charles De Ketelaere has certainly relaunched his career following his move to Atalanta from AC Milan, and he is attracting interest from Arsenal and other Premier League clubs, as per a report.

According to what is being reported by CaughtOffside, Arsenal are one of a number of clubs keeping an eye on De Ketelaere given his rejuvenation since swapping red and black for black and blue last summer.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta is ‘a big admirer of De Ketelaere’, while other sides like Manchester City, Tottenham, Newcastle United and West Ham ‘have also been watching the 23-year-old’ during his time with La Dea.

There have not been any approaches made by these clubs yet, but the Gunners will decide internally whether to launch a move for De Ketelaere or Georgiy Sudakov, who is also a target for the creative midfielder role.

West Ham ‘could be a surprise name to watch’ when it comes to the Belgian because they consider him to be a possible replacement for Lucas Paqueta or Mohammed Kudus, if they are forced to sell one or both.

What does it mean for Milan? Well, in addition to seeing a talent blossom that they spent over €30m on, several sources have claimed that the club secured a 10% resale clause meaning they would get that amount of any future proceeds from a sale.

There were, however, also reports which claimed that De Ketelaere’s move hasn’t been made permanent just yet and that it will become one next year due to accounting reasons.
