Arsenal are trying to close a deadline-day deal for Club Brugge’s Noa Lang, according to journalist Rudy Galetti.

The Gunners are reportedly looking for a new winger and a new midfielder in the last hours of the transfer window.

Galetti took to Twitter to claim that Lang is a “last-minute” name on Arsenal’s transfer list today.

The Gunners “will try to close a deal for a winger in these last hours, even if is quite complicated”, he added.

Lang would be a good shout for Arsenal, a young, talented and versatile player with a high ceiling.

The 23-year-old Netherlands international has featured in every position in midfield and up front in his career.

Most of his appearances have come at left-wing (91).

However, he has also played 30 times as a centre-forward or second striker.

Lang has also played 29 times in central midfield, 20 times as a No. 10, and 30 times on the right wing.

“Good combination with Saka”

Last year, sports journalist and Club Brugge watcher Bart Lagae tipped the former Ajax ace to shine for Arsenal.

He reckons Lang would be superb playing in a front three featuring Bukayo Saka and a centre-forward.

Lagae also feels the Brugge gem could also play on the right, deeming “better” than Nicolas Pepe.

“I think for Arsenal he [Lang] can play on both wings,” Lagae told football.london‘s The Arsenal Way.

“For instance, on the right, in Nicolas Pepe’s position.

“I would say he is even more focused on the goal and assisting than Pepe. He is probably a better player.

“He can have a good combination with Saka. Saka the player making runs and Lang the passer.

“Lang doesn’t go deep without the ball; he always asks for the ball.

“So, I think having him in combination with Saka and a striker… would work very well.”
