Another significant target has just surfaced, suggesting that Arsenal is far from done making significant purchases this season.
The most recent reports from Spain indicate that the Arsenal are currently in the market for a new midfield general.
Mikel Arteta is moving quickly to find the ideal guy to team up with the West Ham United captain, despite negotiations on a £105 million deal to capture Declan Rice moving slowly.
Although a staggering €90 million (£77 million) bid has been made for Aurelien Tchouameni, Real Madrid still sees the French international as invincible.
Carlo Ancelotti has taken notice of such a mouth-watering amount, but it will probably take an even larger offer to get them to sell and have him depart the Spanish capital after only a year.
Aurelien Tchouameni’s talent level?
Although many may have believed that Rice’s addition would provide the team’s defence more defensive energy, it could now be claimed that this most recent information indicates that the England international will be counted upon to produce more than was initially anticipated.
That’s timely considering he just finished a season in which, according to Sofascore, he made six goal-related contributions and maintained a critical pass rate of one per game for the Irons in the Premier League.
Tchouameni has several talents that make him a star, but he is best known for his role in breaking up plays and launching counterattacks.
If he had to be compared to any player in world football, it would be Rodri from Manchester City because of his composure and capacity to both direct and interrupt play. FBref adds to this by being listed under the former AS Monaco star’s “similar players” section.
This argument is supported by the fact that Arteta has previously shown no reluctance to adopt Pep Guardiola’s tactical principles or personnel choices.
The Spaniard played a key role in their treble-winning triumph last season, even scoring the game-winning goal in their victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final. In practically every game they played, they exerted control because of his presence at the base of their midfield.

According to Sofascore, he managed to keep an average rating of 7.32 throughout the season, helped by his 91% pass accuracy, 1.2 clearances, and 1.9 tackles per game. He was ranked ninth best player in the entire division according to the most important figure.
Tchouameni has struggled to find playing time in Madrid, but he has still displayed the class that has garnered him a lot of acclaim. Joe Flemons, the host, went so far as to say: “A future Real Madrid midfield with Aurelién Tchouaméni & Eduardo Camavinga is a frightening idea. Two incredible talents that are only getting better and have already proven their worth at the highest level.
According to Sofascore, the 23-year-old has a 7.13 average rating in La Liga while also averaging 65 minutes per game on average, 94% throw accuracy, 1.5 interceptions, and 1.9 tackles per game.
Although the World Cup finalist is four years Rodri’s junior, it might be claimed that he has already demonstrated a level that surpasses the 27-year-old, with room to expand dramatically.
If Arteta were to persuade him to join his revolution, it might be the final piece needed to push them over the edge and allow them to defeat the unyielding Citizens.
