Arsenal keen on Tomas Aranda
Arsenal are very impressed with his performance and are preparing an offer of over €20 million to secure the deal, according to ParmaLive. Multiple reports claim that he has a €17 million release clause in his contract, and the only way Arsenal could offer more than that is by paying in instalments.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops. They could use more creativity and technical ability in the final third, and the 19-year-old would be a solid long-term acquisition. Aranda can operate as the left-sided winger as well as a central attacking midfielder. He will help create opportunities for his teammates with his passing, vision and flair. He can score goals as well.
A dynamic attacker like him will bring more ball progression between the lines and add more tactical flexibility to the team.

Aranda could be tempted to join the Gunners
The opportunity to join Arsenal will be very exciting for the youngster. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities in the UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, clubs from Italy are monitoring his situation as well. The 19-year-old should look to join a club that offers a clear pathway to the first team and ample opportunities to continue his development.
Arsenal must provide him with a clear development plan to convince him. It will be interesting to see if they can wrap up the move in the coming weeks.
Yes this seems to be a good idea A creative player who can score goals is what we could do with I understand the need to build for the future but I feel we should concentrate on signing players for the first team now We need to sustain our position and be ready to go again in August Let’s won the league again first before planning for the future too much While we are on top there will be no shortage of recruiting young players I find the runoir of paying £78 million for Fofsnsa who scored seven goals last season ridiculous and we should not waste that amount on an unproven player
Tomas Aranda needs higher STATs and more experience and is not ready for Arsenal this year.
His STATs for an attacker is just 1 goal in 20 games with 2 assists.
Definitely not ready and not ready for Arsenal. We may just Look again maybe at his STATs in 2 years time, to see if their our any improvements. He is young and has time.
Arsenal are looking at either young contract age academy players with exceptional ability that are 17 years old this year, or alternatively older players with exceptional STATs that are better than their first 11 in needed positions.
Andrea Bertha,
He and his team are slow at buying and selling players. It is a big loss to sell Trossard, None of the Arsenal forward are better than him. Look at Nuno Mendes, No 20 Nusa Norway and Ryerson. Players are over priced. Rodgers is not worth €130M . Alavez is. Wan biss is a joke. I play better than him. You need 2 centreforward, and one winger, and two midfielder and a right back. You always seem to buy goalkeeper. Player in forward like PSG players. Look at France players and bench, Can you get any ones from there.
