After nine league wins, the Gunners are now four points clear of the Premier League table. Fabrizio Romeo says that they didn’t expect to be in this position.
Although Arsenal missed the top four this season due to a late collapse last season, Romano revealed in his exclusive CaughtOffside column how they were always optimistic heading into the new campaign.
The transfer expert says Arsenal will be alert in January for any opportunities in midfield or out wide that could help them win the title.
Romano doesn’t know what AFC targets might be, but he mentioned Youri Tielemans as someone who he believes could be a good fit for Mikel Arteta. Romano stated that although Arsenal were optimistic about this season, they don’t expect to be at the top of the league or four points clear in October.
“They’ll keep going, game by game, with the goal to improve the entire project with new contracts and new players in future.”
“They will be available in case there will be opportunities. Midfielder and winger are two options that were considered in the summer, but it all depends on the players.
: “I believe Arsenal need at minimum one more midfielder for Arteta’s rotation, and I’d love to have seen Youri Tielemans there.”
Tielemans looks like a great fit for Arsenal, given his contract situation. However, they might wait until the summer before signing him on a free.
Tielemans certainly looks like he could be a good fit for Arsenal after his fine performances for Leicester down the years, and his contract situation likely means he’ll be a realistic and affordable target this winter, though they may also decide to wait until the summer to sign him on a free.
