Arsenal is now closer to securing the signature of Euro 2024 sensation instead of Bruno Guimaraes. — Report…

Report: Arsenal’s focus on signing a towering 6ft 5inch Euro 2024 star has increased, surpassing their interest in Bruno Guimaraes.

Arsenal is set to bolster their midfield during the upcoming transfer window.

With multiple areas of the pitch requiring reinforcements, midfield appears to be their primary concern.

The departure of Mohamed Elneny from the club and the potential departures of Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga have highlighted the need for new additions.

Currently, only Declan Rice and Jorginho remain as defensive midfield options, which falls short for the demands of the 2023/24 season.

An update regarding Arsenal’s pursuit of midfield targets has surfaced.

The latest news involves Arsenal’s interest in Bruno Guimaraes, Martin Zubimendi, and Amadou Onana. Arsenal has been linked with several midfielders since the beginning of 2024.

Mikel Arteta, a former midfielder himself, understands the need for his team to bolster their midfield, and acquiring a high-quality player is crucial.

The Gunners may need to secure a defensive midfielder to allow Rice to play further forward, or they could opt for a box-to-box midfielder, resulting in the English international taking on a deeper role.

According to recent reports, Arteta is set to discuss with Rice to determine his primary position for the upcoming season.

An update from GiveMeSport reveals the midfielders Arsenal is eyeing.

Although Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes is a target, it seems unlikely as his preferred destination is Manchester City, not Arsenal.

Arsenal is also interested in Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, but reports suggest that the deal is not progressing as the Gunners are stepping back from it.

GMS reports suggest that Everton’s Amadou Onana is the preferred player for Arsenal to sign.

Discussions have been initiated with the relevant parties to explore the possibility of a potential deal.

Onana, who joined Everton from Lille in 2022, has consistently impressed with his performances. Currently representing Belgium at Euro 2024, he possesses all the qualities desired in a defensive midfielder, making him an attractive prospect for Arsenal.

What sets Onana apart is his remarkable physical stature, standing at an impressive 6ft 5in.

However, what truly astonishes is his exceptional speed despite his imposing size.

Onana’s exceptional speed of 36.65 km/h during the 2023/24 season, as reported by the Premier League’s official website, surpasses the velocity of every individual player at Arsenal.

This makes him an ideal addition to the Gunners’ squad, as they are in dire need of a versatile midfielder.

Onana’s remarkable attributes include his agility, strength, ball control, and aerial prowess, making him a truly well-rounded player.
