According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Arsenal’s target Romeo Lavia might be available for a substantial bargain this upcoming summer.
In a discussion with GiveMeSport, Jacobs provided some insight into Arsenal’s strategy for the forthcoming window.
Arsenal is reportedly on the verge of finalizing deals with West Ham United captain Declan Rice and Ajax’s defender Jurrien Timber.
Manager Mikel Arteta appears eager to reinforce his team significantly in the next few weeks, aiming to narrow the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal recently acquired Kai Havertz from Chelsea. However, due to the uncertain future of Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey at the club, the Gunners could be in the lookout for another midfielder.
Romeo Lavia is one player who is believed to be on Arsenal’s radar.
90 Min’s Graeme Bailey didn’t dismiss the chance of Arsenal going after Lavia.
Jacobs further suggests that Lavia, a Southampton midfielder, could be available for less than expected in the coming weeks.
Jacobs’ Insight on Lavia
Jacobs predicts Arsenal will concentrate on offloading players first before inking any more deals. He also considers Lavia as a ‘player to keep an eye on’ this summer.
“With Southampton’s potential downfall, Lavia might be accessible for a reduced price,” commented Jacobs. “He is indeed a player to be monitored closely.
“But, I anticipate Arsenal will want to trim their roster first and assess the situation initially in the pre-season, before making further recruitments.
“Arteta requires to consider the team balance and he will also wish to evaluate the synergy among the new arrivals.”
Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola has called Lavia an ‘exceptional’ talent. The Belgian midfielder, in search of consistent first-team action, moved to the southern coast from City last summer.
Lavia’s first season performance at Southampton in the Premier League has intrigued potential suitors such as Chelsea and Liverpool.
It is yet undetermined whether Arsenal will reinforce their interest in this promising young player, especially with the anticipated signing of Rice.
However, Lavia would provide an exceptional infusion of talent for Arsenal’s midfield, and Arteta will seek additional options for the upcoming season.
