Arsene To Grant The Bid For Asensio Of Real Madrid

Arsenal may be having hard times in convincing the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to sign new contracts despite all efforts to tie them down. However, latest report suggests that Arsene Wenger is set to sanction a big money move for a highly-rated forward.


Spanish source DiarioGol claim that Arsenal are keenly interested in Real Madrid’s winger Marco Asensio who announced himself to the world in Madrid’s 3-1 away win against Barcelona in the Supercopa de España. The 21-year-old has been tipped as a successor to Cristiano Ronaldo majorly due to his ability to score in big games, as he was on the score sheet of UEFA Champions League final in which Madrid defeated Juventus 4-1 at Cardiff
Asensio is considered to be in Zinedine Zidane’s plans for this season but reports claim that Wenger is willing to test Madrid’s resolve with a bid. Further claim from the same report says that the Arsenal boss is also ready to match the player’s release clause valued at £72 million.
A healthy number of Arsenal players are in their final year of their respective contracts, which makes it more likely that a squad overhaul is bound to happen next summer and the idea of blooding young players like Asensio is an astute plan for the future.
Asensio plays predominantly as a right winger but he can also play from the right wing and operate centrally as an attacking midfielder.
Having Ozil as a role model could yet make this deal quite easier if Wenger truly wants him.

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
