Arsenal Chase Swoop For £75m Liverpool Hero – reports

2 Comments

Arsenal are thought to be eyeing a possible move for Barcelona forward Luis Suarez, with the Uruguayan hitman facing an uncertain future at the Catalan club, as reported by the Daily Star.

The 27 year old striker left Liverpool in the summer to join the Nou Camp side, who paid a huge £75 million to bring him in.

However, he has not been a success at the gigantic club, and there are doubts about whether he will stay with them in the long term.

Andoni Zubizarreta, Barca’s sporting director and in part the man responsible for the signing of Suarez in the summer, was sacked this week, and his assistant Carles Puyol, Barca legend, resigned from his position.

Suarez has scored only three goals this season, in contrast to his sensational form for Liverpool last season.

Arsenal were keen on signing him last summer, and are apparently keeping abreast of his situation at the Catalan club.

Barca’s willingness to sell could change after the president Josep Maria Bartomeu announced he was set to call presidential elections soon.

Arsenal And Spurs Set To Battle For £5m Midfielder

Leave a comment

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both set to do battle for 20 year old midfielder Ondrej Duda in the summer, according to the London Evening Standard.

His representatives have told the press that a series of giant clubs from across Europe are all chasing his signature at the end of the season.

The midfielder is currently at Legia Warsaw, and does not seem willing to leave the club until the current season has reached its conclusion, according to his agent.

Duda has previously been valued at around £5 million by The Sun, back when Everton, Newcastle and Napoli were thought to be leading the chase for his signature.

Despite the staggering interest in him from across Europe, the player is still not going to move until the end of the season.

Both Arsenal and Spurs are eyeing up midfield recruits in January.

Spurs’ situation is exacerbated by the fact they are attempting to sell Paulinho during the winter window.

Arsenal Eye Elegant 24-Year-Old Brazilian Defender – reports

Leave a comment

Arsenal have turned their attention to Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista after choosing to drop their interest in signing St Etienne defender Loic Perrin, as reported by the Daily Mirror.

The manager of the north London side, Arsene Wenger, is thought to be keen on defensive additions this month in an attempt to deal with his considerable problems across the back line since the start of the season.

Injuries and suspensions have seen Wenger’s side forced to regularly play young talents and experienced pros out of position in defence, causing a series of defensive mixups and problems.

Perrin said there was interest in Arsenal signing him, but that situation seems to have changed.

L’Equipe are now claiming Wenger has changed his preferred target to Gabriel.

He has made 16 appearances for the Yellow Submarine this season, and at 24 years old, is thought to be a more long term option than the 29 year old Perrin.

However, an issue might be the fact that he has yet to play for Brazil, meaning getting a work permit for the defender might prove difficult.
