Arsenal’s hopes of signing a technical midfielder is being furthered by the transfer board.
Mikel Arteta wants more quality down the middle and he has recognized a number of players who could help him in doing so, starting with Dominik Szoboszlai.
Arsenal’s interest in the Red Bull Salzburg player stretches all the way back to last summer. At 19, he has shown glimpses of brilliance in an advanced midfield role, sometimes even playing on the left flank to support the front line. His technical ability, passing and goalscoring numbers are what makes him such a prominent option in the European market.
Szoboszlai has scorer 10 goals and forwarded 17 assists in 38 appearances this season. Even if those numbers are from the Austrian Bundesliga, the youngster’s quality is undeniable. He knows how to drive in and out of tight spaces, create chances for his teammates and control possession. Arsenal desperately need a bit of that in their current midfield setup.
Szoboszlai would also come within Arsenal’s budget at around £27 million. He might be the ultimate replacement for Aaron Ramsey, whose absence is still being felt at the Emirates. The only hiccups is sizeable clubs like PSG and AC Milan.
