Arsenal are chasing Stuttgart star Angelo Stiller, a German midfielder also being tracked by Real Madrid.
German midfielder on Arsenal & Madrid radar
Real Madrid have been monitoring Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller for months. Their scouts have been impressed by his calmness and understanding of how to control the tempo.
He has arguably developed into one of the best midfielders in Germany, and various Spanish media outlets are reporting that Madrid will be looking to sign him as one of their main targets for next summer. They are looking to refresh their options in midfield.
However, they won’t have a clear run at him. Arsenal are stepping into the chase as well. Their growing interest could make this one of the biggest tug-of-wars of the next window.
The midfielder has already shown ambition, previously turning down Manchester United when a late move came knocking. That decision signaled he’s willing to wait for the right project instead of jumping at the first PL offer.
Now, with Madrid and Arsenal both circling, Stiller has the chance to pick from two of Europe’s top clubs.
Gunners want midfield depth
For Arsenal, this pursuit is all about adding bite and balance to their midfield. Mikel Arteta’s side are still searching for the perfect partner to anchor the center of the park. Stiller fits the profile. He breaks up play, shields the defense, and starts attacks with precision. These are the qualities the Gunners have sometimes lacked in the biggest games. They believe he could slot straight into their setup and raise their levels both in the PL and UCL.
Although, Madrid have the history, the trophies and the stage every player dreams of. Yet, Arsenal’s project has been more appealing of late. The trust they place in young players could influence it.
Author’s Opinion:
Stiller feels like the kind of signing that could define a midfield for the next decade. If Arsenal are serious, they’ll need to move fast, because once Madrid lock in, they rarely miss.
