Southampton reportedly about to seal deal Arsenal should be chasing – TBR View
Southampton are completing the sort of transfer Arsenal should be chasing after the Saints agreed a deal for Valentino Livramento.
What’s the story?
Arsenal have been looking at smart investments all summer long.
It seems to be the name of the game for the Gunners, who are financially hamstrung this summer.
Well, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men are on the way to sealing a great move.
According to The Athletic, the south coast outfit are closing in on a move for the 18-year-old.
However, they beat off mass competition to seal a transfer for the promising prospect. The Gunners, Liverpool and Everton were also keen on the ‘‘ youth product.
Livramento is a star – and could’ve been one for Arsenal
Livramento is well on his way to being a star and would’ve been a shrewd addition for Arsenal amid his move to Southampton.
He was a star player for Chelsea’s under-23 side last season. The England under-20 international made 26 appearances, scoring three times and registered 10 assists.
However, despite impressive numbers, his attacking output wasn’t even the best part of his game.
Livramento is a hugely versatile figure and can play on both the left and the right sides. He is also comfortable in defence and midfield and featured eight times at right-back.
From value to his quality and versatility, Arsenal could regret missing out on the talented Livramento.
