Report: Arsenal keen with Sergi Roberto looking for next club

Arsenal are interested in signing Sergi Roberto from Barcelona, that no new contract talks with the Catalan giants have been planned.

Roberto has been a very good servant for Barca. Of course, the high point came in March 2017 when he scored the goal that gave Barcelona a 6-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain and sent them through in the Champions League.

He has made well over 300 appearances for the club without ever being considered one of their star men. But it would appear that a new challenge looms for the Spain international this summer.

Roberto is looking for a new club. And one side interested in securing his signature is Arsenal, according to ARA.

Sergi Roberto deal could be an incredibly shrewd move from Arsenal

Roberto may not be the most exciting signing in the world. His versatility has arguably been what has made him so important for Barcelona in the last few years.

But on a free transfer, it is hard to find a problem with Arsenal making a move. They definitely need more options in the centre of midfield. And they should welcome the chance to strengthen at full-back.

in 2018 that Roberto had become ‘one of the best full-backs in the world’.

Obviously, the 30-year-old will no longer be at his peak. And he has actually made more appearances in the middle of the park this season. But he still has plenty to offer.

Arsenal fans may hope that the club have plenty planned for the summer window. But they could surely do a lot worse than bring Roberto to the Emirates with his contract set to expire.
