Arsenal now very interested in signing £52m midfielder who Pep Guardiola says is ‘incredible’

Arsenal are now increasingly interested in signing RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo who does have plans to leave the🉐 💦club next summer.

That’s according to who were primarily reporting FC Barcelona’s interest in Olmo.

The 25-year-old started in the Barcelona academꦕy before making his name in Croatia with Dinamo Zagreb.

And upon signing a new contract with Leipzig, Olmo now has a release clause which has caught the attention of Arsenal.

Moreover, the likes of Real꧑ Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City are also said to b𝓡e .

Man City have often been linked with Olmo in theജ past, a player Pep Guardiola has previously described as ‘’.

However, does confirm that Olmo’s ideal resolution would be a retur꧒n to Catalonia.

It’s interesting to see Arsenal linked with such a profile, especiall🅷y given they are well stacked in his preferred position.

Olmo has often been deployed as an attacking midfielder in his career, a position occupied by Martin Odegaard or Fabio Vieira at the Emirates.

Moreover, Emile Smith Rowe is also waiting on the sidelines.

Arsenal have been named as a suitor for Leipzig’s Olmo

Of course,ꦇ it remains to be seen just how accurate of Arsenal’s interest are.

Arsenal are seemingly targeting a striker if anyone at all in January, and do have firm interest in Ivan Toney.

Perhaps Leipzig’s Olmo could be seen as a winger to improve Arsenal’s squad✃ depth moving forward.

Upon injuries to Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, it has become clear that Arteta may not trust Reiss Nelson fully.

Despite handing him a start in the EFL Cup, the Arsenal boss has preferred to force s꧒trik💞ers out wide since.

Therefore, Olmo would strengthen Arsenal’s squad if he arrived from Leipzig, but he probably shou🥀ldn’t be seen as a pr♓iority.
