BID ACCEPTED: Arsenal first bid to sign £60m highly rate champions league winner has just been approved, Fabrizio Romano confirms medical to follow up soon

Arsenal are actively seeking high-quality players this summer and have reportedly identified five clubs that one of the world’s best midfielders could choose from. Last season, the Gunners came close in their battle with Manchester City, but Mikel Arteta knows his squad needs more quality and depth to make further progress.

Currently, Arsenal are linked with several players in the market. Nico Williams is of interest, and Viktor Gyokeres has been mentioned multiple times. The Gunners are aiming to acquire a new forward, a midfielder to partner with Declan Rice, and a full-back.

In addition, one of the top-performing midfielders from Euro 2024 is reportedly open to joining Arsenal. According to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal is one of the potential destinations for Joshua Kimmich.

Updating fans on X, Plettenberg noted that Kimmich currently lacks an agent, so clubs need to contact him directly if interested. Kimmich is expected to demand a salary of around £17 million per year, which would place him among the top earners at Arsenal.

 

Impact of Kimmich on Arsenal
Joshua Kimmich is a game-changing player who can make a significant difference for any team. He has been outstanding for Bayern Munich, winning eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020. Kimmich is versatile, capable of playing across various positions, but the prospect of pairing him with Declan Rice in midfield is particularly exciting for Arsenal fans.

If Arsenal manages to sign Kimmich, it could significantly enhance their chances of overtaking Manchester City next season.
