There is still less than half of the season left, but Arsenal is on track to have a tremendous season.
Mikel Arteta’s team extended their outstanding form on Saturday evening, surviving a late push to win 3-2 against Bournemouth.
Then, courtesy to a late equaliser by Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández on Sunday evening, they finished the weekend six points ahead of Manchester City.
Arsenal appears to be on the verge of winning the Premier League this season, and they may be ready to grow even stronger with claims linking them to someone resembling Declan Rice.
Arsenal seeks Rice-like signing.
While Arsenal has had its bad moments this season, there have also been some positives, and the majority of the club has really stepped up.
While there have been more than a few standout performers, it’s becoming increasingly easier to identify the player of the season: Rice.
The former West Ham United captain has been nearly faultless for Arteta and company, and he is determined to lead this squad to the glory that has so painfully eluded them in previous years.
With this in mind, it’s easy to see why the Gunners are interested in another international star who could be regarded as a potential Rice replacement.
That is, according to a recent Football Transfers report, which suggests Arsenal is interested in Tino Livramento.
According to the source, the Newcastle United player has emerged as a top target for the North London club, who are ‘keeping a close eye’ on him.
It is unclear how much the £50,000-per-week full-back would cost the Gunners, but given his importance to the Magpies, it is likely to be a significant sum.
However, given Livramento’s ability and potential, Arsenal should pursue this deal, especially as he may be another Rice-type addition for Arteta and Co.
