  • The Gunners are reportedly willing and ready to back Mikel Arteta in the winter transfer window
  • Latest rumours suggest Arsenal could make a move for Real Madrid talent Eduardo Camavinga
  • They have already completed the signing of Leandro Trossard, while Jakub Kiwior is set to be signed from Spezia

Arsenal are reportedly set to make a move on Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga for a loan deal as the Premier League leaders continue to revamp their squad in their title hunt.

Camavinga, 20, has already established himself as one of the best midfielders in world football despite his tender age.

Last season, he was integral for Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they won the Champions League and La Liga title.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will agree to a loan move, although Camavinga has struggle for minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu this season.

Tall order

On social media, fans reacted to the Camavinga transfer rumours with varying reactions.

Sections of fans felt it was a tall order since Real Madrid’s midfield as ageing as the likes of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric are well in their thirties.

Others felt Camavinga would be a great addition to Arsenal, but his signature would not help him personally as he would likely also struggle for minutes at the Emirates.

Where do you see him play? How is he gonna get more minutes with us?

@advokatmentega added:

“Partey and Xhaka is untouchable. No place for him”

@katsray45

“But he won’t get playing time at arsenal either”

@Lewis_Spitz said:

“The player has struggled for minutes “ He’d struggle for minutes with us. Possibly be sub appearances and europa league. (disregarding any injuries ) Probably play similar minutes staying at Madrid.”.
