Arsenal youngster Krystian Bielik’s performances for Charlton and the Polish under-21 team has alerted a number of clubs including Italian giants AC Milan.
The report states that Arsenal boss Unai Emery does not have the young Pole in his plans for the upcoming season.
Bielik will not return to be a part of Arsenal’s under-21 team according to the report and rightly so after an exceptional campaign on loan at Charlton Athletic last season.
Bielik was arguably Charlton’s best player last campaign and played a massive role in helping the club return to the Championship. The report claims that the young Pole isn’t short of any offers with clubs from Itlay, Netherlands and many from the Championship keen on his services.
However, Arsenal are reluctant to let their versatile sensation leave permanently and they would prefer a loan deal. The 21-year-old is under contract with the Gunners until the summer of 2021 but lack of game time could see him leave the club permanently this summer.
Bielik’s versatility of playing in central defence as well as in defensive midfield is said to have interested Milan who are on the lookout for a replacement for Tiemoue Bakayoko who has returned to Chelsea after a hugely successful loan spell.
Bielik’s chances of regular game time at Milan is also not guaranteed considering his lack of experience in the top level. However, selling him this summer would be a terrible decision by the Gunners who have already made poor decisions of the sort with the likes of Serge Gnabry, Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Ismaël Bennacer in recent times.
Arsenal should convince the young Pole to have another loan spell away from the Emirates before guaranteeing him a chance with the first team next summer. The Gunners should also push to extend Bielik’s contract to avoid another situation of having a player enter the final year of their deal next summer.
