Arsenal quoted £50m for Champions League ace likened to Bruno Guimaraes

Arsenal are enjoying a bright campaign and, with the January transfer window on the horizon, they could well look to bring in some mid-season reinforcements.

෴The Gunners could do with looking for some new midfielders, with Jorginho and Thomas Partey set to be out of contract at the end of the season.

🅘Indeed, transfer speculation linking Mikel Arteta’s side with a new midfielder has been doing the rounds for months.

For instance, 💮Arsenal are reportedly still monitoring Martin Zubimendi, while Eintracht Frankfurt’s 𝔉Hugo Larsson is said to be a target for Arsenal and Tottenham.

Now, a report has emerged claiming Arsenal🀅 have been quoted £50million for a “powerful” Champions League midfielder reminiscent of Bruno Guimaraes.

Arsenal quoted £50m for Atalanta’s Ederson

꧒The player in question is Atalanta’s Ederson and, according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport (print edition, 6/12/2024, pg. 11), the Gunners have enquired about the Brazilian.

⛄Liverpool are also said to have made contact over Ederson, but both the Gunners and the Reds reportedly balked at Atalanta’s €60million (£50million) valuation of the player.

TBR Football previously revealed that the likes of 📖Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Newcastle have all scouted Ederson this season.

🅠Better still, Ederson has seemingly decided that a move to England is his preference, which is welcome news for the Premier League chasing pack.

෴However, the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and all of Ederson’s other suitors will need to work harder if they are to convince Atalanta to strike a deal.

What Arsenal could expect if they signed Ederson

﷽Earlier this year, South American football expert Tim Vickery suggested that Ederson would be a good shout for Newcastle.

The Brazilian midfielder has numerous great traits and virtues that are reminiscent of Bruno Guimaraes, according to Vickery.

ꦐ“He’s a strong, well-built central midfielder,” he told Sky Sports News. “He’s strong on the ball, versatile, box-to-box and has a strong personality as well.

🃏“The first thing I remember about him is his professional debut for Cruzeiro, who were really on the slide at the time.

🧔“They were relegated in dreadful form but even in that bad context, he stood out.

🔥“So, a lot of virtues and I just wonder if all these virtues may remind you of another Brazilian already wearing the shirt of Newcastle.”
