Arsenal 'join race' to sign perfect Bukayo Saka backup amid Santi Cazorla transfer claim

Arsenal have joined the race to sign Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze, according to recent reports.

Italian outlet Calciomercato have claimed that the Gunners are 'ready' to challenge the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid, Aston Villa, AC Milan and West Ham United for Chukwueze's signature during the summer transfer window. It is claimed that Milan currently are leading the race for the Nigerian international, who is valued at €60million (£51million) by CIES Football Observatory.

The 24-year-old netted 13 goals and provided a further 11 assists across all competitions last season, as per transfermarkt, and the talented wideman's ability is far greater than his numbers suggest in the final third, known for his elite one vs one ability. In fact, according to fbref, only two players registered more successful take-ons in La Liga over the course of the 2022/23 campaign.
