Premier League club expect their star defender to leave after claims Arsenal want to sign him
One Premier League side are now expected to sell their star defender who has recently been linked with a move to Arsenal.
As well as the offensive additions Mikel Arteta desires this summer, Edu will also꧙ need to ensure that Arsenal start the new sꦓeason with better depth at the back.
William Saliba does♈n’t currently have cover, unless Ben White is moved from right-back which causes another issue in itself.
And on the left sid✅e, Arsenal perhaps need a full-back andꦚ a centre-back, or someone that can do both.
Ajax’s Jorrel Hato recently ruled out a move this summer – stating his desire to🎉 win a trophy with his boyhood club.
And in a summer in which Jakub ౠKiwior could leave Arsenal to return to the Serie A, there could be a bit of movement.
Ideally, Edu will find a versatile left-fo𝓰oted defender, a similar profile🅘 to Kiwior but someone who is better technically, and perhaps has a higher ceiling.
Fortunately for Arsenal, it seems as if Nottingham Forest would be wiꦛlling to sell Brazilian defender Murillo this summer, who definitely fits the bill.
Nottingham Forest expect to sell Murillo for big profit this summer after Arsenal interest
21-year-old Murillo enjoyed an outstanding debut campaign in tꦿhe Premier League h♉aving joined Forest from Corinthians last summer.
The Brazilian played 36 games across all competitions and clearly caught the eye of Arteta, with Arsenal recently showing interest in Murillo.
And despite his good season, are now reporting that Forest expect to sell the Brazilian for a big profit this summer to ease thei🍌r PSR c♛oncerns.
Si💦gned for £11m just 10 months ago, Forest believe they ca♌n recoup almost six times that sum for the defender today.
As Arsenal may have recoജgnised, it♍’s rare to find a profile like Murillo’s, such a versatile and confident defender on the ball, who can progress play so well stepping into midfield.
Perhaps the Brazilian reminds Arteta of Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez, a player with a similar tenacity an🌞d skill-set.
Martinez ultimately was a player Arsenal wer🐎e unable to sign despite their interest, now having to watch him at Old Trafford.
But if the club were ablꦬe to effectively replace Kiwior with Murillo this summer it would be a realཧ upgrade.
That being said, one Arsenal defender is said to be determined to leav𝓰e the club this month.
