The revenge of the gentleman takes place in the summer. Arsenal are looking to hijack Chelsea’s coveted midfielder, Moises Caicedo.
The British ‘Evening Standard’ said on the 24th (Korean time), “Arsenal are ready to compete with Chelsea for Caicedo in the intensifying transfer market. aspire to,” he reported.
Arsenal beat Chelsea. Chelsea hijacked Mikhailo Mudrik, who had been close to Arsenal. Arsenal, who thought they could not afford to spend 100 million euros (approximately 134.4 billion won), gave up Mudrik, and Chelsea became the final winner of the transfer saga.
So far, it seems to be a ‘win-win’. Chelsea used Mudrik as a substitute in the last game against Liverpool and it worked well. Although he failed to score, Mudrik proved his worth by leading Chelsea’s attack in the second half with dribbling and penetrating space that broke Liverpool’s defense.
Arsenal was the same. Arsenal, who failed to sign Moudrik, immediately signed Leandro Trosar from Brighton & Hove Albion. The price was 24 million euros (about 32.3 billion won), cheaper than Mudriq. Trossar was substituted in the 37th minute of the second half against Manchester United and immediately proved his skills by making a pass that became the starting point for the winning goal.
It ended well for now, but their scouting competition continues. Arsenal are trying to steal Caicedo in the summer, which Chelsea wanted in the winter. Chelsea immediately tried to sign Caicedo, but there was a difference of opinion with Brighton and they are taking a step back.
Arsenal are looking for that gap. Arsenal has built a strong midfield of Thomas Party, Granit Xaka, and Martin Odegard this season, but it is virtually non-existent, so reinforcements are needed.
Currently, the plan is to invite Kaisedo in the summer. The Evening Standard revealed that Arsenal are keeping an eye on Caicedo, saying “Arsenal want to sign a new midfielder for next season. Caicedo and Amadou Onana are also under consideration.” 먹튀검증
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s number one summer scout is known as Declan Rice. Rice has also been constantly associated with Chelsea, but has been more heavily linked to Arsenal in recent years when it comes to reaching the Champions League. If Arsenal succeeds in recruiting even one of Caicedo and Rice, it will be the revenge of the gentleman.
