The British ‘Mirror’ said on the 25th (Korean time), “Arsenal missed the signing of Mikhailo Mudrik, but now they are aiming for Chelsea’s two targets. Right now, Arsenal need reinforcements for squad depth and are monitoring Moises Caicedo and Amadou Onana, who are on Chelsea’s radar.”
“Arsenal are leaving midfield to Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey. We’re worried about squad depth, but Caicedo will help. Onana, who joined Goodison Park last summer, has also been on the Arsenal and Chelsea lists. We have achieved rapid growth by signing with a goal. Recently, we have acquired Leandro Trossar and Akuf Chibio.”
The English Premier League (EPL) winter transfer market has flowed relatively quietly. The ‘Mudrik Hijacking’ between Chelsea and Arsenal shook the whole of England. Initially, Mudrik was very close to Arsenal. Coach Mikel Arteta and the leadership actively sent love calls and were willing to pay huge transfer fees. 메이저놀이터
The hijacking occurred in a situation where the North London bound was a fait accompli. Chelsea, led by owner Todd Boelli, have successfully snatched Mudrik and signed him. When the astronomical transfer fee was brought out, Arsenal also went through the process of giving up. As such, Moudrik left Emirates Stadium behind and entered Stamford Bridge, ending the transfer saga.
This time Arsenal are planning a hijacking at Chelsea. It is said that they are watching to snatch Kaisedo and Onana, who have been eyeing for reinforcements in the midfield. Arsenal aimed at England national team Declan Rice, but since the transfer fee is so high, it is argued that Caicedo and Onana can be recruited as the next best option.
However, both Chelsea and Arsenal are expected to spend a considerable amount to have Onana and Caicedo. Everton, who have fallen into the relegation zone, will not give up Onana easily, and Caicedo has openly stated that he is focusing on Brighton this season. As the transfer market is nearing its end, the two teams are expected to find a breakthrough through negotiations.
