Arsenal will need to sign a midfielder in the summer transfer to enhance Mikel Arteta’s options in the middle of the park. The Gunners have seemed to identify Youri Tielemans as the priority signing to cover this area, but Edu can take encouragement after finding out the price tag of the perfect alternative for the Belgian.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have been following Yves Bissouma for months, but the priority is to understand if they can complete a deal for Tielemans. Brighton’s price tag for Bissouma is close to £38m.
Arsenal should certainly look to pursue a deal for Bissouma if the Tielemans transfer pulls through. The Brighton midfielder has shown his quality in the Premier League, and at £38m it would be an excellent coup for the Gunners.
