Arsenal: Romano reveals June transfer is 'likely' as Arteta 'scouts' Bayer player available for £34m
Arsenal are one of the nightclubs intrigued in signing Bayer Leverkusen protector Jeremie Frimpong at the end of the period, according to records.
Frimpong owns been on fire for the Bundesliga leaders this term, racking upward 6 purposes as well as issuing seven helps in 17 appearances across all competitions.
He owns arguably been the ideal complete-previously/wing-previously in Europe since Xabi Alonso took penalty of Leverkusen last October.
It is no stagger to investigate most captivate in the previous Celtic player. Manchester Joined as well as Chelsea have previously been linked.
And also it owns been reported this week that Frimpong will most definitely be obtainable for as miniscule miniscule as £34million once a exhaust clause in his covenant becomes vivid at the end of the period.
This would most definitely be a hefty bargain, though the Dutch international owns only in reality affirmed himself as a wing-previously as well as most Premier League nightclubs lug out not dashed by means of a previously five.
Regardless of being unproven as an out-as well as-out right-previously, there is captivate unborn from Arsenal.
This is according to Fabrizio Romano, who says the Artillerymans have “surfed” Frimpong “in current times” as well as that a summer season exit from Leverkusen genuinely feels “imaginable”.

“There have been plenty of stories about Jeremie Frimpong as well as a £34m exhaust clause in his covenant,” Romano designed for CaughtOffside.
“I can confirm that there is a clause, as well as he’s indisputably a player who is substantially valued about Europe after some mouth watering functionalities this period,” Romano asserted.
“Bayer Leverkusen as a entirety have been nice to watch under Xabi Alonso, as well as Frimpong is one of the team’s most considerable players by means of some mouth watering display displays at right-previously.
“Frimpong owns been surfed by Arsenal as well as Bayern Munich in current times, too as by Barcelona in yesteryear they instead accepted Joao Cancelo on finance from Manchester Municipal void in the summer season.
“I reckon in June a response is imaginable for Frimpong, as well as he indisputably won’t be fast of suitors as multiple nightclubs have been supervising him for some time.
“We’ll have to wait as well as investigate how this appears since there won’t be anything taking place currently, yet he indisputably appearances select one to watch for the summer season.”
Arsenal supervisor Mikel Arteta makes utilization of an inverted complete-previously in his gadget, though it owns habitually been his vacated-previously who owns slotted into midfield, traditionally Oleksandr Zinchenko.
This posture shift brows through the Artillerymans manipulate a previously 3 in possession, by means of Benjamin White deepening Bukayo Saka as well as William Saliba.
Should Arteta indicator Frimpong, he will most definitely imaginable shift the inverted complete-previously role to Frimpong on the right, initiating a extraneous defensive-minded player on the vacated flank instead.
Takehiro Tomiyasu matches that role well, although he owns affirmed he can tinker as an extraneous midfielder, yet Jurrien Timber – who is out persecuted after tearing his ACL in August – is perhaps the individual for the job.
Of course, Frimpong’s role as a wing-previously is awfully various from that of an inverted complete-previously, yet he is a number more strong offensively than he is defensively, so will most definitely be much closer reinforced for that role than White’s in Arsenal’s team.
It is indisputably an intriguing internet connect as well as for the reported £34m expense, Arteta can lug out a number worse.
