June 20, (THEWILL) – Arsenal are looking to strengthen their squad in the summer transfer window, and they are reportedly interested in signing three big-name players, Ajax defender, Jurrien Timber, West Ham midfielder, Declan Rice, and Chelsea forward, Kai Havertz.
Timber is a versatile defender, who can play at centre-back or right-back. He is known for his strong defensive skills and his ability to play out from the back. He would be a good fit for Arsenal’s system, which requires defenders to be able to pass the ball well. Rice is a defensive midfielder, famous for his athleticism and his ability to break up play. He would be a major upgrade on Arsenal’s current midfield, which has been criticised for being too lightweight.
Havertz is a versatile forward, who can play as a striker, a winger, or an attacking midfielder. His attractive quality is his creativity and his ability to score goals. He will be a plus for Mikel Arteta’s frontline, which has struggled to score goals in recent seasons. Initial Arsenal bids for Timber and Rice have both bids been rejected, but the Gunners are expected to return with improved offers for both players. However, they are not willing to meet Chelsea’s asking price of £70 million for Havertz.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to sign all three players, but they are certainly making their intentions clear. They are looking to strengthen their squad and challenge for trophies domestically and in Europe in the coming season.
