Arsenal transfer target Denzel Dumfries has hinted that he is open to leaving Inter this summer following Fabrizio Romano’s latest post.
The transfer expert shared on his Twitter account that Denzel Dumfries, who helped Inter reach the Champions League final this season, ‘signed with Wasserman as a new agency a few months ago, as clubs are monitoring him’.
The player himself stated he has ‘no reason’ to leave the Serie A giants, ‘but we know football can be dynamic, so we will see what happens’, as quoted by Romano’s Twitter page.
There are Arsenal fans calling for Mikel Arteta to boost the club’s backline this summer after they narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City.
Ben White, who started as a centre-back, was moved to right-back this term, and whilst he did a stellar job, it’s pretty clear that an upgrade is needed and someone like Dumfries has been linked to the north London club.
Well, if you don’t ask, then you don’t get and judging by Dumfries’ comments, those at the Emirates should knock because it seems as though he is open to leaving the San Siro giants.
“I’m proud to be an Inter player,” said Dumfries. “I’ve had two excellent years and I’ve no reasons to leave… but we know football can be dynamic we will see what happens”
Dumfries would elevate Arsenal
The Netherlands international has mainly played as a wing-back for Inter and thrived in an incredible fashion, both going forward and when defending.
The manner in which he manages to balance the two, as he proved during Inter’s Champions League run, is quite impressive and he would be a welcome addition for Arsenal.
Yes, it might mean putting a lot of money on the table, but move White back to competing for minutes as a centre-back, bring Dumfries in and let Takehiro Tomiyasu remain back-up. Easier said than done, of course.
