Arsenal Three-Man Summer Transfer Targets Including Potential Relegation Bargain Revealed

Reports from Football Insider suggest that Arsenal is looking to add a central midfielder to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window.

The Gunners have reportedly identified three players for the position, including Everton’s Amadou Onana, Brighton’s Moises Caicedo, and West Ham’s Declan Rice.

Out of the three, Rice is believed to be Arteta’s top target, with Arsenal allegedly ready to make a bid of over £100 million for the England international. However, they could face fierce competition from Premier League rivals Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, who are also interested in Rice’s signature.

Caicedo is another expensive option, with Arsenal already having seen two bids worth up to £70 million rejected for the 21-year-old during the January transfer window.

On the other hand, Onana could be a potential bargain if Everton is relegated. The Toffees reportedly want £70 million for the Belgian midfielder, but his asking price could be slashed should they go down.

It’s clear that Arsenal is taking its pursuit of a central midfielder seriously, with the club looking to strengthen ahead of a return to the Champions League after a six-year absence.

While Rice is believed to be the Gunners’ top target, the competition for his signature could prove to be a major hurdle.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Arsenal fans will be eagerly awaiting the club’s moves in the market.

With a three-man shortlist already in place, it’s clear that the Gunners are serious about their ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
