Arsenal Lookinf To battle For 20 Years Old PL Star

Arsenal are looking to make their move to sign Tariq Lamptey next summer should Barcelona follow up their interest in Hector Bellerin.

The Spaniard has supposedly been promised to Barcelona as part of Joan Laporte’s bid to return as president at the club, and the Gunners will likely entertain such a bid.

Bellerin has come in for criticism in recent months after a number of below-par performances, and the club could well cash-in on the former Barcelona youth product, and will supposedly look to bring in Tariq Lamptey as his replacement.

The 20 year-old made his senior debut against our club in the Caribao Cup last season, before leaving the club in January in search of regular action.

Since the switch, some have claimed that the Blues were crazy to let him leave, but with Reece James as first-choice you could argue that the decision wasn’t too difficult.

James has impressed for both club and country of late, but Lamptey is also tipped to make his mark for England in the coming years, although there is plenty of competition for places at present.

Tariq’s pace is an amazing asset for his skillset, and his ability to get up and down the flanks is a blessing for his Brighton side, and he certainly looks to have a bright future in the game.

The Mirror claims that the Gunners will not get a straight shot at his signature however, with Bayern Munich and Manchester City already showing a keen interest also, and we may have to exert our impressive negotiating skills in order to secure his arrival.

'I Tried My Best' - Arsenal Boss Arteta Believes He Did All He Could To Include Axed Ozil

The 32-year-old did not feature for the Gunners after lockdown and was subsequently omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League squad. Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta believes he did all he could to give Mesut Ozil a fair shot before he axed the German from his squad. Ozil's name was not among Arsenal's 25-man Premier League squad that was released earlier this month, which followed the playmaker's exclusion from Arsenal's Europa League squad. As the 32-year-old enters the final months of his contract with the Gunners, it now appears likely that he has played his final game for the team. Ozil did play a part for Arsenal last season, at one point starting 10 consecutive Premier League games for the Gunners before the coronavirus lockdown in March. The playmaker did not make a single appearance for Arsenal after lockdown, however, but Arteta has still insisted he gave Ozil every chance to impress before he was omitted from his team. "What I can tell you that I...

Arteta Must Be Strong To Survive Allegri Rumours’ – Arsenal Boss Can’t Show Weakness, Says Smith

The former Gunners striker has urged an under-fire Spaniard to prove that he is the right man for the job and end links to an ex-Juventus coach Alan Smith claims it is “an open secret” that former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is being recommended to Arsenal amid their ongoing struggles, with Mikel Arteta told he is going to have to show no weakness in order to “survive” the rumours. The Gunners have continued to stumble out of the blocks in 2020-21, with their worst start made to a Premier League campaign. Inability to establish any kind of momentum has the north London outfit languishing in the bottom-half of the table and glancing anxiously over their shoulder at the drop zone below them. Unsurprisingly, questions are being asked of Arteta’s ongoing presence, with a rookie coach finding out the hard way just how tough life at the top can be. Arsenal have offered no indication that they are contemplating another managerial change, but Smith says potential successors – including ...

Arsenal's £72m Enigma: Arteta Right To Demand More From Mercurial Pepe

The Gunners' record signing may have scored his third goal of the season on Thursday night but his manager wants consistency across 90 minutes. Mikel Arteta’s answer was clear when asked what Nicolas Pepe needed to show in order to earn himself a regular starting spot in Arsenal's Premier League team. “Consistency,” said the Arsenal boss, when quizzed on the Gunners’ record signing, following Thursday’s night’s 4-1 Europa League win against Molde at the Emirates Stadium. It was a game that perfectly encapsulated the enigma that is Pepe. The £72 million ($95m) man was infuriating at times - especially in the first half - but just as he had done against Dundalk a week earlier, he popped up with an excellent goal. He also went on to add an assist for Joe Willock, a late strike which sealed a comfortable victory for Arteta’s side and all but booked Arsenal’s passage into the knockout stages. It was a classic Pepe performance and more evidence of why he remains such a puzzle in nort...
