According to Goal.com, Arsenal are quite active in this month. They are targeting Juventus midfielder Arthur and Leicester midfielder Youri Tielemans also. Arthur has been a big disappointment for Juventus so far. They signed him for €76m but his current market value has downed to €25m. But when it comes to Tielemans, he is just awesome. He has increased his value by €10m since he joined Leicester too. He scored 5 goals and made 2 assists in 14 games and I remember some of their goals which were amazing. But I don't think that Leicester would like to let him go easily.
https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/arsenal-arthur-tielemans-gunners-midfielder/blt687a72cce9541cf1arthur's performance is still not as expected by the coach with a price that is quite expensive, I don't think he is in accordance with his very expensive price.
I think arsenal has stopped and is out of the hunt for Bruno Guimaraes so decided to move on to find something else.
but i don't think arthur is the right choice if you look at his current performance.
Arsenal are really short in midfield with Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny at the Africa Cup of Nations, and Sambi Lokonga adjusting to the intensity of English football. They were initially skeptical about their plans to sign Arthur Melo from Juventus. They were heavily linked to signing Bruno Guimarães from Lyon but in the end i think they would want to go for Arthur on loan but It is like Juventus are prepared to let the Brazil midfielder leave, but do not want to loan him out without an obligation to buy at the end of the season. Amongst these players that Arsenal are targeting, I would Prefer Youri Tielemans. He has entered the last 18 months of his deal at Leicester City. With the quality and the age with the intelligence he has got, Youri Tielemans is what Arsenal need, he is premier league top player as well.
Arsenal did have to buy a midfielder, because they lost Partey and Elneny who were strengthening their respective national teams, making Arteta
not have many options in midfield. Moreover, Granit Xhaka as a senior player often acts carelessly by making many mistakes, Arsenal should have
sold Xhaka. Then for Sambi Lokonga still adapting as a new player, the game is still inconsistent. Whoever the midfielder will be brought in by Arsenal,
it should be done as soon as possible. Because Arsenal really have to strengthen their midfield in order to compete with other Premier League teams
to get into the top 4 this season.
Of all the midfielders Arsenal are targeting, the best choice is to buy Youri Tielemans, because in addition to Tielemans playing very well with
Leicester, Tielemans also has his contract ending soon. So there is an opportunity for Arsenal to buy Tielemans. I am also optimistic that Tielemans
will adapt more quickly to Arsenal's game. rather than bringing in Arthur or Guimaraes which may take longer to adapt to the game in
the Premier League.
