It’s only a matter of hours before the start of the winter transfer window. And after a half of the season rich in lessons, several teams want to strengthen themselves in specific positions to fill certain deficiencies. Leader of the Premier League, Arsenal is still in the running to win the title this season after narrowly failing last year. To achieve their goals, the London leaders would like to strengthen their midfield and would have ticked the name of Arthur Vermeeren. Pillar of Royal Antwerp at just 18 years old, the Belgian international (2 caps) amazed everyone in the Champions League and has been targeted for several months by FC Barcelona.
However, the Catalan club would not be the biggest threat to Arsenal. Indeed, the main competitors of the residents of the Emirates Stadium would be their neighbors Tottenham according to information from Sun. According to the media across the Channel, the Spurs, who are expected to lose Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr at the CAN and who are undermined by injuries, have even made an offer of 29 million euros to the club based in Antwerp to flush out Vermeeren. The English publication adds that Tottenham are on the verge of overtaking their north London rival on this issue. The plan would be to obtain the agreement of the Belgian club this winter before loaning him to his training club for six months like what was done for Destiny Udogie last season with Udinese. We are therefore calmly preparing for the future within the ranks of Ange Postecoglou.
