Arsenal will be keen to sign a midfielder in the summer transfer window to bolster Mikel Arteta’s options going into the new season. Youri Tielemans seemed to be the Gunners priority heading into the window, but negotiations have since stalled.
The Gunners have been linked with a host of midfielders other than Tielemans in this window. One player in particular that the club are reportedly interested in is Seko Fofana from French side Lens.
The Ivorian international followed a trend in the 2021/2022 season, which could suggest that Arsenal will sign the midfielder. He did this by winning the Marc-Vivien Foe award, which has a key significance for the Gunners.
