Arsenal have already secured the agreement to sign Martin Zubimendi, and a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that they are now keen on 17-year-old LOSC Lille midfield prodigy Ayyoub Bouaddi. The youngster is highly rated across Europe, and he could prove to be a quality long-term investment for Arsenal.
“Arsenal want another midfielder – Jorginho is gone and they are now really expecting Thomas Partey to go,” Bailey told TBR Football before adding, “Even before Zubimendi, we know they wanted Nypan and have looked at the likes of Agoume, Bouaddi and Barrios – so they will look at another this summer and are doing work on it.”
The 17-year-old could be tempted to join a club like Arsenal as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at a high level. The teenage sensation has impressed with LOSC Lille. He will look to test himself at a high level, and moving to the Premier League could be ideal for him.
Arsenal have been fighting for the league title recently, and they will be an attractive destination for players. They could provide him with Champions League football next season. In addition to that, Arsenal have done well to groom talented young players in recent years. They could help the 17-year-old fulfil his tremendous potential.
Arsenal are keeping tabs on players like Lucien Agoume and Pablo Barrios as well. It is evident that they want another midfielder. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal for the 17-year-old across the line. He would be a long-term investment for them, and if they can get the deal done for a reasonable amount of money, it could prove to be a masterstroke from them.
The talented young midfielder has the technical attributes to do well in English football, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for the club in the coming seasons.
