Arsenal still focus on many goals in the transfer market to complete the squad.
Arsenal sporting director Edu has tried to strengthen the club by bringing in three players: Jorginho, Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard. However, not all deals go smoothly.
With unfinished goals, Arsenal will pay close attention to their game to decide whether to continue negotiating in the summer of 2023 or not.
Declan Rice
Declan Rice is Arsenal’s main transfer target in the summer. The West Ham United midfielder has been on the Gunners’ radar for some time and with his contract in east London coming to an end, it’s good news for the Emirates Stadium team.
Arsenal pay attention to Rice.
Arsenal have faced Rice this season in a 3-1 win over David Moyes’ side on Boxing Day. Rice is a key player when it comes to making quality tackles, interceptions and transitions. That performance further motivated Arsenal to recruit the star born in 1999.
Arsenal will face difficulties because of the obstruction of many other clubs. Chelsea, Manchester City or Manchester United all want to recruit Rice.
Youri Tielemans
Edu is willing to wait until next summer 2023 to help Arsenal sign Youri Tielemans on a free transfer. He has decided not to renew his contract with Leicester City and will earn a huge salary once the 2023 summer transfer window opens.
Despite the interest of Arsenal last summer, the Belgian midfielder’s value has somewhat declined this season because of a string of poor performances. If Tielemans is to capture the Gunners’ interest, he will need to impress in the second half of this season.
Moses Caicedo
The biggest topic ahead of the 2023 winter market expiration date is Moises Caicedo. Arsenal submitted two significant offers for the Ecuador international but all were rejected by Brighton. However, Caicedo’s mind is undeniably turned to Arsenal.
If the talent born in 2001 can play well and contribute to Brighton’s participation in the European Cup next season, the Amex Stadium team will be open to selling people. Therefore, Arsenal will be watching to see how Caicedo performs for the rest of the season before deciding to re-interest in the deal or move on to another target.
Caicedo follows Arsenal closely in the final days of the 2023 winter market.
Ivan Fresneda
Ivan Fresneda was a relatively unknown figure to most people before Arsenal held discussions with the player’s representatives. He thus became Arsenal’s January transfer target that was mentioned a lot.
Fresneda stayed at Real Valladolid, but many said that the star born in 2004 would leave in the summer of 2023. With what has been shown, the Spaniard needs a big move in his career instead of continuing to play. for Valladolid.
Currently, Transfermarkt values Fresneda only 1 million euros.
