Mikel Arteta in love with Seria A star – wants to bring midfielder to Arsenal

ARSENAL manager Mikel Arteta is “in love” with AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, according to a report and is planning a move to bring the Seria  A star to the Emirates in January or at the end of the season.

After improving a number of key areas during the summer transfer window, Arsenal started the new season in fine fashion and looked like the side that were going to take the Premier League title off Manchester City.

However, injuries, red cards and some dodgy performances has meant that Arsenal are now adrift of leaders Liverpool and face a struggle to keep up with the Merseyside giants after their blistering start to the new season means that they are now favourites for that title.

That has led to speculation in the media that Reijnders is a player that the Arsenal boss would love to sign, according to Fichajes, which reports that “everything indicates that the Gunners are willing to make a significant financial effort to secure his signing”.

Reijnders has been one of the most impressive players at Milan this season, but only has a £24 million fee, something that Arsenal are more than interested in paying.

Arsenal have a very good squad, but injuries in key areas of the pitch means that Mikel Arteta does not have the back-up to replace the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, so adding a new midfielder to the side could be a serious option in January.

Arsenal are not out of the title race just yet, but there is a long way to go and we are sure that with all the games that Arsenal will have to play, injuries and suspensions will be picked up, so squad depth is important.

Reijnders is happy at Milan and will not want to move, but if ARSENAL offer the right amount of money, they a move will happen
