Arsenal Makes Late Bid to Thwart Lazio’s Pursuit of Bundesliga Midfielder

Arsenal Football Club has reportedly launched a late and aggressive effort to hijack Djibril Sow’s potential transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt to Lazio. The talented Swiss international has been impressing in the Bundesliga and appeared to be on the brink of completing a move to Lazio, but Arsenal’s sudden involvement has thrown his future into uncertainty.

CalcioMercato reorts that the Gunners are now firmly entering the race for Sow’s signature, putting pressure on Lazio to act swiftly to secure the midfielder. However, Sevilla’s reported interest in the player adds another layer of intrigue, making the outcome of this transfer saga uncertain.

Maurizio Sarri, the head coach of Lazio, had identified Sow as a prime candidate to bolster his midfield, potentially replacing the highly regarded Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Arsenal’s late intervention, though, could disrupt Sarri’s plans and prompt Lazio to rethink their approach.

It’s worth noting that Arsenal has already made significant midfield reinforcements this summer, acquiring the services of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz. Therefore, the sudden prioritization of Sow raises questions about their transfer strategy and potential tactical considerations.
