Arsenal is determined to enhance their midfield during the upcoming summer transfer window and they have pinpointed their primary targets.
As per Graeme Bailey via HITC, Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa and Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad are the main targets for Arsenal ahead of the summer window.
Earlier this season, Dean Jones disclosed that Luiz is valued at approximately £70 million and the Athletic has confirmed that Zubimendi has a £50 million release clause in his contract.
It will be intriguing to observe if Arsenal is willing to shell out £120 million for the two midfielders at the conclusion of the season. They have already spent a record-breaking fee on Declan Rice earlier this season.
There is no doubt that Arsenal needs to acquire a top-quality midfielder by the end of the season and an upgrade on Thomas Partey should be their utmost priority.
Securing a high-caliber midfielder could solidify their squad for the foreseeable future. They possess an impressive defensive unit and an attacking force at their disposal. Perhaps recruiting another striker would also be ideal.
Luiz has established himself as one of the premier defensive midfielders in the league and he could be the perfect partner for Rice in the heart of the midfield. Additionally, Zubimendi would bring technical prowess, creativity, and control to the central areas. The trio of players could form an imposing midfield unit.
Arsenal unquestionably has the financial resources to afford the two players, but they may need to offload their fringe players first.
