Arsenal’s failed pursuit of Noa Lang certainly proved to be a blessing in disguise for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta’s falling out with Matteo Guendouzi highlighted why the Dutchman would not have been the correct signing for the north London side.
Lang recently admitted in an interview with Dutch news outlet Het Laatste Nieuws that Arsenal tried to sign him in the January transfer window with Italian news outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport claiming him to cost around £25million. The Gunners are currently in desperate need of a forward and a winger due to shortages in both departments.
However, Lang has consistently been criticised for problems concerning his attitude throughout his career. Arteta has talked about the importance of creating a competitive dressing room without negative energy, which Lang could have proved to threaten due to claims about him in the past.
