Arsenal Targets Belgian Defender as Key Right-Back Signing for Title Challenge

Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is eager to reinforce his squad following an impressive campaign that saw the Gunners contend for the title. With their sights set on securing a skilled right-back, Arsenal has been linked with several potential candidates.

According to  Belgian journalist Sacha Taviolieri, Arsenal’s attention has turned to Timothy Castagne, positioning him as their second priority after Ivan Fresneda. Discussions have already commenced between Arsenal and Leicester City, hinting at the possibility of swift progress in negotiations.

Ascertaining Leicester’s demands for the transfer of the Belgian international is a key objective for Arsenal. The Foxes, having been relegated to the Championship, are anticipated to undergo significant squad restructuring during the summer transfer window. Castagne, on the other hand, could potentially circumvent playing in the second tier by securing a move to Arsenal, which would offer him the opportunity to compete in the prestigious UEFA Champions League.
