It was puzzling that Jesper Lindstrom was being linked with a transfer to Arsenal. With Martin Odegaard, Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe at the club, Mikel Arteta’s options have been plentiful.
Yet despite numerically the difference between three and two being seemingly small, it is rather surprising how when the number of available options in a position drops from one to the other how a sudden sense of concern grows at how “thin” a side becomes. That is exactly what has happened after Arsenal confirmed Smith Rowe underwent groin surgery and would be back in training this December.
Suddenly a move for Lindstrom does potentially have more credibility. It was initially reported in Germany via The Evening Standard that Arsenal had reached out to the agent of the Danish international.
