He is seen as a cheaper target to Maddison. The🙈 Leicester City man is valued at around £60 million.

Arsenal may have work to do if they hope to land Bernardo Silva for less than Maddison would cost

Unfortunately for Arsenal, previous reports would suggest tha🎃t City want a similar fee for the former Monaco man.

that the Premier𓃲 League cꦚhampions value Silva at the same price.

Meanwhile, that he earns £150,000-a-week. So he will ceܫrtainly not come cheap.

And with Silva setting his sights on Spain, Arsenal may have to make a lucrative offer if they hope to tempt him t🍬o the Emirates.

It would be a real coup for the Gunners. Obviously, Mikel A🎉rteta knows the attacki🃏ng midfielder from his time with the Cityzens.

Silva should only just be hitting his peak. So if there is a deal 𒉰to be done, it could be an outstanding piece of business.
