SHOCKING NEWS: its just few weeks before the transfer window opens and a lot of deals are going internally and Arsenal are making positive decisions. Coming from Fabrizio Romano Arsenal are expected to strike a deal before transfer window opens, Arsenal are in the race to sign Belgian wonderkid Arthur Vermeeren, a player who is valued at €34 million,he has drawn comparisons with Emirates favourite Declan Rice in his short career so far. Arsenal could sign ‘Declan Rice regen’
Arsenal is vying to sign Belgian sensation Arthur Vermeeren, who in his brief career has drawn comparisons to Declan Rice, a favourite at the Emirates.
Even though Vermeeren is just 18 years old, he has already made 62 senior appearances for Antwerp. On Wednesday, Mark van Bommel’s team defeated Barcelona 3-2 in the Champions League, and Vermeeren scored against one of his possible suitors.
Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund are among the teams keeping tabs on the player due to the high level of interest in him.
The internal algorithm at FootballTransfers values Vermeeren at €35.7 million, and after his masterclass at Barca, he will likely fetch at least that amount.
CEO of Antwerp Sven Jacques recently stated to the Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, “If we sell it, it’ll definitely be at the right price.” “We’ll see whether he becomes the most expensive outgoing transfer in Belgium ever.”
Charles De Ketelaere, who joined AC Milan from Club Brugge in the summer of 2022 for €36.5 million, is the player whose transfer broke the record.
Given that Brugge is now being compared to Rice, who has had such a positive impact in North London since moving from West Ham for £105 million in the summer, Arsenal could do worse than test Brugge’s resolve.
“Both were centre-backs in their youth days who have since been converted into either defensive or box-to-box midfielders,” said Thomas Hindle of GOAL. “Both are excellent defenders, who understand space, and are always improving going forward.”
Although having two of the same might not be the best for cohesiveness within the team, it is known that Mikel Arteta would like to add another defensive midfielder to his squad, as Thomas Partey is getting close to leaving the Emirates. The Ghanaian is being watched by Juventus and the Saudi Pro League.
As they look to win their first Premier League title since 2004, the Gunners are weaker in that area than they would like to be after Granit Xhaka left the team for Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
