5 Players who could improve Arsenal this summer

London Arsenal led the 2022/23 season in the English Premier League for a long time, but eventually fell behind Manchester City, unable to withstand the intense title race. To be a title contender again next season, Arsenal needs to get stronger. We bring to your attention five players who can make the “gunners” stronger.

Declan Rice (West Ham)

It’s no secret that the West Ham captain, who recently lifted the Conference League Cup over his head, has long been of interest to Arsenal. “Gunners” want to find a replacement for Granit Xhaka, who will leave North London and join Bayer Leverkusen as soon as Arsenal sign a replacement.

Declan Rice has already received a West Ham transfer permit, but the cost will be high – about 80-90 million pounds. Arsenal have already begun negotiations with the player, as Bayern are also seriously interested in him, as well as – there is interest from Manchester United. It is these three clubs that are the most realistic contenders for an England international who promises to progress in the future and has leadership qualities that are highly appreciated by all clubs interested in him.

Arsenal return to the Champions League next season. Betting on “Gunners” you can at the bookmaker Pin Up Uzbekistan. New customers here can get a number of bonuses, as well as – high odds for English Premier League matches.

Moises Caicedo (Brighton)

An alternative for Declan Rice is the Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo, whom Arsenal wanted to sign back in January, but then did not dare to give up for the central midfielder of the Seagulls. the requested amount. Now Caicedo has signed a new contract with Brighton and has not become cheaper, because – for him, as for Rice, you will have to pay 70-90 million.

Arsenal’s competitors are Chelsea, who have already intercepted players of interest to Arsenal in the winter (Mikhail Mudryk), but the Blues There are a number of financial fair play restrictions that need to be addressed through the sale of players. Therefore, Chelsea is in no hurry and Arsenal have an advantage in time. But Mikel Arteta is used to finishing summer transfer deals as soon as possible, because – there are indications that Arsenal will close the defensive midfield position soon with Rice or Caicedo.

Sasha Boy (Galatasaray)

Arsenal need a right-back to increase defensive options. Last season, this position was mainly played by Ben White, but he will be useful to Arteta in the center of defense, because – Arsenal are interested in signing another flank defender, which could be Frenchman of Cameroonian origin Sasha Boy from Galatasaray.

Battle in its style of play is very reminiscent of Bakary Sagna – former player of Arsenal and Galatasaray, with whom the manager of the Gunners played at one time; Mikel Arteta. Sagna himself highly appreciates the level of Sasha and recommended him to Arsenal. The fight had a very strong season and helped Galatasaray become a champion, but in the summer he is ready to change teams and return to one of the TOP European championships. Fight Price – 20-22 million euros and this money will not be a problem for Arsenal.

Ivan Fresneda (Real Valladolid)

Arsenal have been linked with another flank defender – Ivan Fresneda of Valladolid. Here, work for the future is noticeable, because now Fresneda does not look like a player who can immediately play at the base of Arsenal, but the club is thinking about the future and Ivan will be a good option for the future.
Fresneda is 18 years old – he comes from the Valladolid academy and has only recently become a major player in a club that unfortunately left La Liga at the end of the 2022/23 season. In the case of this player, Arsenal are not in a hurry, nor are there a lot of competitors, and the price of Fresneda after the departure of Valladolid will certainly fall.

Joao Cancelo (Man City)

Joao Cancelo could be the next City player to sign Arsenal. Considered one of the best wide-backs in European football last season, Cancelo suddenly fell out of City’s squad, lost form and was loaned to Bayern for the second part of the season, where he also failed to perform at his best. At the same time, Cancelo managed to become the champion of England and Germany in one season, but now his career may turn in the wrong direction if the Portuguese does not return to his best form.

Possibly, João quarreled with Pep Guardiola – psychologically, he does not look like a very stable player and he had similar problems earlier in other clubs. When Canselu is in a good mood – he is able to perform a colossal amount of work on the field, but alas – he is able to lose touch with reality from time to time, which probably happened in Man City.

But Arteta worked with Cancelo at City and already has experience in integrating his former Man City players into Arsenal. Alexander Zinchenko became a real boon for the “Gunners” and he played just in the style that was characteristic of Cancel in his best season in Man City – regularly connected to the attacks and was a “deep playmaker”. But, if Arteta decides to acquire Cansela – he needs to beat the competition from Bavaria and be ready to spend 40-50 million. Sasha Boy seems like a cheaper alternative that will be less of a problem than the cranky Portuguese.
