Arsenal join Chelsea and Man United in transfer race for midfield sensation

Arsenal are interested in signing Southampton central midfielder Romeo Lavia, according to the Daily Mail.

The Gunners have one of the youngest squads in the Premier League, with 21-year-old trio Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba featuring in all 25 of their league matches this season. However, one area that they are slightly older in is midfield.

Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Jorginho are 29, 30 and 31 respectively whilst the currently injured Mohamed Elneny also turns 31 this summer. Considering technical director Edu's previous comments on bringing in youth, it makes sense for the north Londoners to target a young midfield talent at the end of the current campaign.
