This summer, Arsenal will have a France sun from Euro 2024 in their sights, and it could change that.
As supervisor Mikel Arteta remodels his squad this summer, Arsenal may be able to get a European superstar who is now competing at Euro 2024.
The Gunners have a longer heritage of Germanic greats, with famous manager Arsene Wenger, all- time record scorer Thierry Henry, Arsenal's next title- winning captain Patrick Vieira all hailing from across the channel. Just centre-back William Saliba currently plays for Les Bleus, but the young centre-back has requested from his employers to encircle him with more Frenchmen at London Colney.
" When I came around it were a lot of European players", Saliba told Arsenal's standard media last December, referencing past captains, Alexandre Lacazette, French- born Gabonese international Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang, French- born Ivory Coast star Nicolas Pepe and Matteo Guendouzi. " We need to mark more French people! since everyone is a group. Portuguese, Natives they are all up".
As blogger Gerard Romero reports that Arsenal have inquired to Barcelona about signing Jules Kounde as their foreign team-mate. Saliba may be getting his wish as well.
Kounde enjoys playing both center-back and right-back in the Gunners ' installation, which he shares with Ben White. It's probable that the original Sevilla player may play anywhere in the rear four like Timber since Arteta used Jurrien Timber as a left-back in the training 12 months prior to the Dutchman's season-ending ACL injuries on Matchday 1 against Nottingham Forest.
Given Barça's bleak financial position, the choice is probably within reach. The Catalan clothing has until June 30 to close a" €130m hole in their accounts," according to the Athletic last month, which means that many of their more important players will need to take reasonable offers into account for them this summer.
We can see this as a spontaneous move in Barcelona, particularly if colleague center-back/right-back option Ronald Araujo stays in this summer, in DataVictory's opinion. Just two of the two questions, which both come from Arsenal, actually need to be answered.
Given that White, Timber, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all organic fit, The Gunners have a left-back like Ben White's, and had undoubtedly prioritize one over the other. It might be enough to persuade Arteta to work with Timber to become a full-time left-back if Arsenal can secure Kounde for a price that is reasonable enough, but the demand for a proper, traditional left-back would be entirely negated.
Kounde is for €45 million, according to Transfermarkt.
