Arsenal have brought in one young midfielder this summer in Albert Sambi Lokonga, but they are allegedly keen on another in Ilaix Moriba.
Lokonga was one of very few shining lights for Arsenal against Brentford on Friday night, and he should be an exciting player for the future.
Granit Xhaka is suddenly staying at the club, but with Mohamed Elneny being linked away, there could still be room for one more midfield addition.
The latest rumour surrounds Barcelona wonderkid Moriba, with 90Min claiming Arsenal are keen to sign him.
They claim that Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have all spoken to Moriba’s representatives, whilst Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, West Ham United, Leicester City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Everton are also keen.
Moriba, 18, joined Barca from local rivals Espanyol in 2010, and now has 18 first-team appearances to his name, with his style regularly compared to Paul Pogba.
Barcelona would hate to lose Moriba, as they really need him, Ansu Fati and Pedri to lead the new era with Lionel Messi now gone.
Arsenal fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the rumours, and many seem excited, believing that this would be a ‘serious’ signing.
Others are hoping that this is true, urging Edu to get a deal done and bring Moriba to Arsenal in another exciting midfield move.
