Arsenal and Liverpool are both said to be in contact to sign 27 year old midfielder. The player currently plays for Barcelona and the Spanish giants can be open yo sell him this summer.
Gunners are surely going to sign atleast 2 midfielders this summer. As of now, both Thomas Partey and Jorginho are set to leave the club as free agent. This will require a proper replacement as soon as possible.
As for Liverpool, they do have a very good squad depth. But, they are still keen to improve it further by signing a holding midfielder. In addition, they can also opt to part ways with Wataru Endo who has failed to impress.
Arsenal & Liverpool both showing interest in 27 year old Barca star
TBR Football have reported that both Arsenal and Liverpool have been contacted to sign Frenkie De Jong. The 27 year old Dutch star can be sold by Barca in order to fund new signings. The Spanish club has a very good squad depth and hence losing De Jong won’t affect them very much.
De Jong can play as both central and holding midfielder. He can be a perfect replacement for both Jorginho and Partey. He has a vast experience of playing at the highest level for both club and country. However, he has lost his place as regular starter this season.
De Jong joined Barca in 2019 after a superb season with Ajax. He has since played 238 games for Spanish club. The 27 year old is also a regular member of Netherlands national team. He has played 55 games for his country.
Arsenal also have plenty other players linked with them in midfield department. As of now, they have their sights on Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad. Lastly, they are also in pole position to land Sverre Nypan who too is looked upon by Liverpool.
