Arsenal to step up pursuit of Dutch midfielder?

10 January 2022 - 20:29

Arsenal are planning to step up their interest in signing Georginio Wijnaldum from Paris Saint-Germain.

  • Chelsea ready new contract for star midfielder
  • Chelsea make first move to sign Xabi Alonso


  • The Gunners are currently very short in the midfield department with Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny away on international duty.

    Ainsley Maitland-Niles was recently loaned out to Roma. On top on this, the club are missing Granit Xhaka due to coronavirus.

    This leaves them with only Albert Sambi Lokonga as a specialist central midfielder. The Belgian has been largely error-prone.

    According to Fichajes, the Gunners are ready to up their interest in Wijnaldum, who could leave Les Parisiens in the coming weeks.

    The Dutchman joined the Ligue 1 giants on a free transfer from Liverpool last summer, but he has struggled to nail down a starting spot.

    He is open to a Premier League return, and it is claimed that the Gunners could prise him away for a fee between €15-20 million.

    Wijnaldum previous spent six seasons in the English top-flight, five of those with Liverpool where he was a consistent starter.
