Dani Olmo could be a superb addition
The 27-year-old can operate as a central attacking midfielder as well as on the flanks. He will add goals and creativity to the team.
The playmaker has 16 goal contributions this season, and he has proven himself for club and country. There is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. It remains to be seen whether he is prepared to move to the Premier League with Arsenal.
The €60 million asking price is affordable for a club with Arsenal’s resources. They are aiming to compete regularly in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, and they need to keep improving the team. Odegaard has not been at his best this season, and it is no surprise that Arsenal are already looking to replace him.
Can Arsenal sign Olmo?
The player has a contract with Barcelona until 2030, and the Spanish champions are under no pressure to sell him. Arsenal will have to pay the asking price if they want to get the deal done. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have been inconsistent since joining Arsenal at the start of the season, and the Gunners need more cutting-edge in the final third. The Spanish international could prove to be an inspired acquisition.
