In a recent development, it has come to light that Arsenal is actively exploring the possibility of securing the talents of Boca Juniors midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez.
According to a credible report from El Crack Deportivo, the Gunners have intensified their scouting efforts, closely monitoring the 21-year-old defensive midfielder. Scouts were dispatched to witness Fernandez’s on-field prowess while representing his national team.
This pursuit, however, is not without competition, as European giants Inter Milan and Sevilla have also expressed keen interest in the promising midfielder. The race is on to see which club can secure Fernandez’s signature, and whether Arsenal can emerge victorious remains to be seen.
Valued at €15 million (£12.8m), Fernandez is considered a feasible acquisition for Arsenal, given their financial strength. The 21-year-old’s defensive midfield skills could potentially fill the void left by Thomas Partey. The allure of joining a top-tier Premier League club is an enticing prospect for Fernandez, who could benefit from regular playtime in England to further enhance his skills and fulfill his potential.
While the reported asking price appears reasonable, it remains a gamble that could pay off handsomely if Fernandez adapts swiftly to the demands of the Premier League. Despite the current unlikelihood of a January move, the summer transfer window may see Arsenal making their move for Fernandez. The outcome, however, hinges on their ability to fend off competition from other interested clubs and secure the talented midfielder’s services at the end of the season.
