Latest Arsenal transfer news: Premier League Duo in focus
As per CaughtOffside, Arteta rates one Bournemouth duo very highly. The duo in discussion is Antoine Semenyo and Milos Kerkez. Cherries value the duo at around €80 million but Gunners hope to pay less than that.
Semenyo is viewed by Arsenal as a backup for their best player Bukayo Saka. Saka has not had a proper backup since very long and this often leads to him with extra workload. Semenyo is only 24 years old and already has 3 goals and 1 assist in Premier League this season.
Gunners do have many options available at the left back position. But they are very likely to part ways with Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior in the near future. Kerkez can be used by Gunners as their potential replacement as he is still only 20 years old.
Arsenal may not find signing the duo easy as they have many clubs interested in them. Semenyo is looked upon by their arch rivals Tottenham Hotspurs. Gunners may also drop Semenyo as they are also linked with Leroy Sane.
As for Kerkez, he is viewed by Liverpool as the long term replacement for Andy Robertson. Robertson has turned 30 and will The Reds will need a proper successor for him. We can witness some very good battles in the transfer markets next year for sure.
