Arsenal may have the chance to finally complete a deal for highly-rated Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler this summer, having shown an interest in him during the past two summer transfer windows. The Spaniard will have just one year remaining on his deal in La Liga come the end of the season and a new contract appears to be unlikely.
Mikel Arteta is clearly an admirer of the 25-year-old and has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his midfield unit during the summer transfer window. While Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka have impressed on occasion as a duo, there remains little depth in that area at the Emirates while the future of Xhaka still remains up in the air.
Now, BBC Sport have reported that a number of Premier League clubs are once again monitoring the player ahead of the window and it would be no surprise if the Gunners are among them again. Soler currently has a £125 million buyout clause but given his contract situation, the report states that a much lower offer could be accepted.
