Arsenal has a history of having outstanding Spanish players on its lineup, including Mikel Arteta, who not only played for the club but is now its manager.
Arsenal has reportedly expressed interest in Athletic Bilbao’s Oihan Sancet, continuing the trend of signing Spanish talent from La Liga. The midfielder, who has been examined by many top European clubs, is considered as a potential talent who may soon join a bigger club.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal is one of Sancet’s essential suitors and has been watching the 23-year-old for some time. Arteta is said to be impressed with Sancet’s playing style and continually tracks the midfielder to assess his potential influence if he moves to the Emirates.
Arsenal’s reputation as one of England’s best teams may make it an appealing destination for Spanish players, which might impact Sancet’s decision-making process. However, any potential move may have to wait until the summer transfer window.
However, Arsenal have multiple midfielders, and he may feel the competition is too intense for his career progression.
