Arsenal and Liverpool are unlikely to match Southampton's valuation for midfielder Romeo Lavia this summer, according to recent reports. The two sides have been heavily linked with a move for the 19-year-old, who impressed last season despite relegation with the Saints.
Lavia is of interest to a whole host of teams, with a complete rework of the midfield appearing to be the theme of the 2023 summer transfer window. Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are all in the business of changing their central ranks before the upcoming season.
The Gunners have made some swift moves in the market to switch things up as Kai Havertz made the switch from Chelsea for £65million. While his time at Stamford Bridge was met with questions over his best position, Mikel Arteta hinted at a midfield role in his arrival.
