Arsenal are keen to improve their midfield next year. They have been highly tested this season due to injuries. In addition, Jorginho and Partey are set to leave the club for free next summer.
This will open up space in midfield which will need fast filling. Gunners are planning to sign a young midfielder who can promise a long-term future at North London.
Arsenal linked with Shea Charles
As per Fichajes, Gunners hold interest in Shea Charles. They have stated that the 21 year old fits the bill for the long-term project planned by Mikel Arteta.
Shea Charles is 21 year old North Irish footballer who plays as central midfielder but can also play as holding midfielder. He started his career with Man City as he came up through their prestigious academy.
Charles was with Man City academy from 2011 and later earned a call up to their senior team in 2022/23 season. He played 1 Premier League game in which he came on as a substitute against Brentford.
Charles then joined Southampton last season and went on to play 38 games for them. He helped the club to gain back promotion to Premier League before being sent on loan this summer.
The 21 year old now plays for Sheffield Wednesday. He has played 12 games this season and has started in all of them. In addition, he has scored 1 goal and picked 1 assist.
Charles has played 19 matches for Northern Ireland this year. He has picked 5 assists in those to display his top quality. He has shown all the qualities to become a huge success in Premier League very soon.
Arsenal can develop him into a world-class player but can’t guarantee him regulat game time as of now. The better option is that they monitor him for the rest of season before coming to final conclusion in summer.
