Arsenal Eyes Real Madrid’s Star as Top Midfield Target

Under the guidance of manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has made remarkable progress and now ranks among the top teams in Europe. While their performance is impressive, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the midfield. It appears that the Premier League giants have set their sights on a Real Madrid player to bolster this department.

Real Madrid currently boasts one of the world’s best midfields, even though they face depth issues in other areas of the pitch. Among their talented midfielders, Arsenal has expressed a strong interest in one player.

Aurelien Tchouameni, who was signed by Real Madrid from AS Monaco over a year ago, has drawn attention from Arsenal. While Tchouameni was heavily linked with a move away in the summer, he opted to remain with the club and has since reestablished himself as a key starter.

FootballTransfers reports that Arsenal has identified Tchouameni as their primary midfield target to pair with Declan Rice. Mikel Arteta is expected to pursue the French midfielder at the conclusion of the 2023/24 season.

Tchouameni has been one of Real Madrid’s standout performers this season, significantly contributing to the team’s improved defensive performance in the current campaign. Playing as a defensive midfielder, Tchouameni has added an extra layer of security to the Real Madrid defense, resulting in just 7 goals conceded in 10 La Liga games this season, the best defensive record in the league.

While it may be challenging to envision Real Madrid parting with Tchouameni next summer, the club has previously shown a willingness to part ways with key players when the right offer is on the table.
