Arsenal Could Leverage Old Connections for Summer Signing
Following their recent Carabao Cup loss to Manchester City, Arsenal has faced another setback that might impact their chances in the title race across their remaining competitions.
Despite this, the Gunners are strong contenders for their first Premier League title in over two decades. They are set to play Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-finals this Saturday and will also face Sporting CP in the Champions League quarter-finals soon after.
Mikel Arteta is prioritizing a healthy squad as they return from international fixtures, especially as they gear up for crucial matches. However, the team has already encountered a significant injury blow as the season comes to a climax.
Fabregas Might Help with Paz Transfer
As Arsenal eyes a successful summer transfer window, ex-footballer Owen Hargreaves suggests they should consider Nico Paz from Como. This talented player has emerged as a standout performer under Cesc Fabregas’ leadership.
Paz, a former Real Madrid academy product, has played a pivotal role in Como’s impressive Serie A campaign, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists this season. Hargreaves emphasized that Arteta would be smart to leverage his relationship with Fabregas in pursuing a deal for Paz.
Given that Paz has already represented Argentina seven times, Arsenal must act quickly to avoid losing out to other interested clubs. While Fabregas may be hesitant to lose his top player, Arteta might persuade him that a move to Arsenal aligns with Paz’s career progression.
Injury Concerns for England Affecting Arsenal
In a related development, a recent injury to Noni Madueke during an England friendly poses potential repercussions for Arsenal. Following this game, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice have returned to their club, heightening concerns about their fitness ahead of important matches.
