During the summer transfer window, Arsenal are hoping to bolster their defense with the help of a certain athlete.
Following a rough week in which they were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich on Wednesday and then defeated Aston Villa 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, speculation has begun to circulate around potential summer signings for Arsenal.
However, the Gunners have been linked to a center-back, even though a striker is still the most probable area of worry.
Willian Pacho, a 22-year-old center back for Eintracht Frankfurt, has impressed this season in the Bundesliga, and according to Bolavip, an Ecuadorian site, Arsenal is exploring a £38.5 million deal for him this summer.
Frankfurt, according to the article, is looking for a fee closer to £52 million, thus there is a significant gap between the two teams’ assessments. Also, the Ecuadorian’s price could go up much more if Liverpool expresses interest.
Arsenal may choose to start Pacho next season rather than Gabriel since he is comfortable with the ball and has left foot ability. Frankfurt’s sporting director, Markus Krosche, has praised his physical abilities, and he would undoubtedly complement Mikel Arteta’s emphasis on defensive stability.
