Arsenal target the transfer of key Serie A captain
Reports indicate that Arsenal are eyeing a move for key Serie A captain Lorenzo Pellegrini, who could provide vital cover for one of the Gunners’ current stars.
The AS Roma captain, 28, has long been linked with a move to Arsenal, and these rumors have resurfaced. With just 18 months left on his contract at Roma, Pellegrini has yet to sign an extension, despite his status as the club’s captain.
While many Arsenal fans are calling for new signings in positions such as striker or right-winger, the club could soon face a need for midfield reinforcements. Both Thomas Partey and Jorginho have contracts expiring this summer, and with transfer interest from abroad, the Gunners could lose one or both players in the near future.
Arsenal’s interest in Pellegrini faces competition, however, with Napoli also reportedly keen on signing the Italian international.
