Arsenal will launch new bid for ‘one of the best player in Europe’ – Fabrizio Romano

Arsenal appear to be making decent progress in their pursuit of Kai Havertz.

Earlier this week, speculation quickly started doing the rounds over the Gunners and the Germany international.

Although Arsenal reportedly saw an opening bid rejected, Fabrizio Romano says a second one is coming “for sure”.

The transfer insider also said that “all parties want to find solution together” with regards to a sale to Arsenal.

Arsenal apparently want to wrap up a deal quickly because Bayern Munich appear to be lurking in the shadows.

However, Romano says the Bavarians are just keeping tabs on Havertz for now, and haven’t entered negotiations.

Our view

Havertz would be a great signing for the Gunners, as he’s talented, young, and proven at the highest level.

At Bayer Leverkusen, he went from ‘an exciting young prospect to one of the best players in Europe.’

You get the feeling that Mikel Arteta will know how to bring the best out of Havertz, something his club haven’t quite managed.

We’ll see what happens in the coming days.

Hopefully it won’t be long before we get two very nice official announcements regarding Arsenal signings.

All in all, it looks like the Gunners are intent on building on their solid foundations and put together a team that wins titles instead of just challenging for them.

Arsenal came so close last season, only to fall at the final hurdle. Strength in depth is an issue, and the Gunners are going about their business well to rectify that.
