Fabrizio Romano says Mikel Arteta will have ‘a lot of power’ in transfer market as numerous players firmly in Arsenal sights
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, began by praising Arsenal for their efforts so far this season, despite having had to deal with so many injuries.
He said Arsenal are doing “something special” and also praised Arteta for having conveyed a message of unity and solution-finding.
Romano then went on to say that Arteta will be backed handsomely in the transfer market and will have “a lot of power” as he and Berta look to bolster Arsenal’s ranks.
“What I can tell you today is that Arteta will be backed in the market,” began Romano.
“Arteta will have a lot of power in the market – together with Andrea they will plan for the strategy.
“(Martin) Zubimendi is a top target, the new striker will arrive, Arsenal will do also more on the market.
“So Arsenal are working hard on Zubimendi, on the striker, on the winger probably, and more.
“So Arsenal will be busy in the market and Arteta will be backed – but he really deserved that.”
Who Arsenal have been linked with in recent months
Arsenal have been linked with a multitude of players in recent months – strikers, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers are all on the Gunners’ radar.
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey recently confirmed that Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Jonathan David and Hugo Ekitike have impressed Arsenal scouts.
Zubimendi is an Arsenal target in midfield, while Lyon’s Rayan Cherki is also of interest to Arsenal.
In terms of back-line players, Arsenal are keen on Brentford defender Nathan Collins.
Arsenal also have a long-term interest in Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia, a player they’ve already been in talks to sign.
