Arsenal person missed retired connected 1 of their imaginable guardant targets for the summer. Antoine Semenyo was believed to beryllium a subordinate connected the club’s database of imaginable winger options and an alternate to precedence people Rodrygo of Real Madrid.
Bournemouth confirmed the quality that the Ghanaian planetary had committed to a caller five-year woody keeping him astatine the nine until 2030. Upon making the woody official, the winger said: “I’ve grown truthful overmuch astatine the club, some connected and disconnected the pitch, and I’m truly blessed to person signed up of returning for pre-season.
“From the fans to the unit and my teammates, I can’t talk highly capable of the radical astir the club. It’s a large spot to beryllium and I’m excited to get backmost to Bournemouth and proceed the hard enactment with the caller play conscionable astir the corner.”
Arsenal's sporting director’s holistic attack to subordinate transfers means that helium has been successful discussions with aggregate imaginable options for the assorted areas of request the nine has this summer. Semenyo was considered to beryllium a subordinate of interest; however, the likes of Rodrygo, Nico Williams and Noni Madueke are considered supra that of the Cherries talisman.
Yet it does showcase that if the nine are to onshore a winger this window, it could beryllium the presumption that takes the longest to find a solution. With some the striker and attacking midfielder, discussions are nether mode with Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze, with overmuch much clarity connected those peculiar players and their ambitions of a caller situation for adjacent season.
Rodrygo being the club’s main people astatine near helping is simply a trickier woody to complete. Despite again being near retired of the Real Madrid starting XI for the Club World Cup triumph implicit Juventus, and the Brazilian not adjacent coming disconnected the bench, determination is nary clarification yet connected if the 24-year-old wants to permission and if Arsenal are a desirable destination for him.
If helium does privation to find a caller situation and much guarantees implicit playing time, surely the Gunners makes sense. He could yet determination to his much earthy left-hand side, but would person compatriot Gabriel Martinelli for institution unless of people the erstwhile Ituano youngster sees the accomplishment of Rodrygo arsenic a motion helium excessively should look for a caller challenge.
Arsenal tin spend to beryllium patient, with Martinelli and Leandro Trossard they are good covered already astatine left-wing. With perchance Eze coming too, the England planetary tin besides diagnostic connected the near flank – but fans volition beryllium hoping that the nine bash not permission it excessively precocious and miss retired connected a winger entirely.
