Arsenal’s transfer business has been pretty good over the last 18 months or so.
However, the Gunners still need a few more faces through the door if they going to be able to compete with Manchester City over a full season.
After Gabriel Jesus suffered a long-term injury at the World Cup with Brazil and is now expected to miss around 10 games for Arsenal, there has been a lot of talk over a new striker coming through the door.
But before that, most were focused on Arsenal signing a new central midfielder.
Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka have been in great form this season so far, but Arsenal’s quality in that area takes a major dip if either player is missing.
A number of central midfielders have been linked with the north Londoners in recent months. And now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on two of them:
“Arsenal have been following him for a long time but it’s not a direct or advanced negotiation as things stand. There are also Italian and Spanish clubs tracking Danilo.
“As for Youri Tielemans, he has been on Arsenal’s list for months, he’s still appreciated but Tielemans could leave in June as free agent… so it depends on the proposals he receives.”
