A number of Arsenal fans have given their thoughts on the report in El Desmarque claiming the Gunners have rekindled their interest in Carlos Soler.

The Valencia ace, who turned 24 on Saturday, has been linked with the Emirates Stadium outfit a few times since last year.

While no move came to fruition in 2020, there are some good reasons why Arsenal could be interested in him, and why the speculation may just be plausible.

First of all, Soler is in great form and developing well – last season he scored just three times in 37 games, while this term he’s on six goals and five assists from 13 games in all competitions.

While Soler has a £133million release clause, Los Che’s financial issues would suggest they could potentially cash in on him for much less.

And finally, Arsenal are reported to be in the hunt for a creative midfielder this month, and Soler seems to fit the bill.
