Thomas Partey’s future at the Emirates is in doubt.According to the Guardian and other UK newspapers, the Ghanaian midfielder could leave Arsenal after receiving a number of attractive offers from Saudi Arabia and Juventus.
Will Kimmich play football in the Premier League?
Coach Mikel Arteta is currently interested in Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich.According to Marca, the Gunners were among the clubs that approached Kimmich, along with Liverpool and Barcelona.The Germany international may be allowed to leave the Allianz Arena for a fee.
The situation is explained further by Kicker journalist Georg Holzer.”According to Kicker’s information, in addition to Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich is no longer ‘inviolable,'” Holzer wrote on his personal Twitter. If a high price is offered for Kimmich, the Munich Board of Directors will be willing to negotiate.”
Kimmich was originally a full-back, but with his diverse skill set, he has recently played as a defensive midfielder.Kimmich led the Grey Lobster to 5 goals and 6 assists in the Bundesliga last season.
Barcelona is in talks to sign Arsenal youngster Miguel Azeez, whom Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once predicted would grow into a “great player.”
Azeez, 20, has only appeared once for Arsenal and spent last season on loan at second-tier Spanish club Ibiza before joining Wigan Athletic, who were relegated from the Championship. With the latter, the Camden-born midfielder of Nigerian and Spanish descent only played twice in January before a contentious departure from the DW Stadium.
Azeez, however, could be on his way out after being left out of Mikel Arteta’s squad for Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the United States. According to Sport, Barcelona are interested in signing the Gunners academy graduate for their B team, which currently competes in Spain’s third division.
Despite having one year left on his professional contract, Azeez is expected to join on a free transfer. Arsenal would then receive a large portion of any future sale, and if Aubameyang’s prediction comes true, the Gunners will be rich.
“One player who I think looks really good is Miguel Azeez,” said the former Arsenal striker and captain before departing the club in January 2022. “Miguel will be a fantastic player in the future.” He’s very calm and mature, so I’m confident he has what you need to be successful and have a long career.”
If Azeez is able to secure a move to Catalunya, the 20-year-old will be hoping that it goes more smoothly than it did at Wigan. When the Latics faced Reading – for whom Azeez’s older brother, Femi, plays – in April, just as their relegation to League One was confirmed, he was at the centre of a contentious incident involving Wigan manager Shaun Maloney.
After the final whistle, Maloney walked onto the pitch to console his players and thank the travelling supporters before being approached by Femi. According to Wigan Today, a heated argument ensued, and another person, believed to be the Azeez brothers’ father, was heard shouting at Maloney.
The crux of the problem was Miguel’s lack of game time since the Latics manager took over for Kolo Toure in the dugout, an issue that Femi had raised in the build-up to the game. “He hasn’t really had an easy time there,” Reading’s forward explained.
“He began with Kolo Toure, but the new manager hasn’t really trusted him, which has been disappointing.” “I hope he plays, but if he doesn’t, it is what it is.”
According to the report, Miguel was subjected to disciplinary action during his time with Wigan, being sent to the academy for a fortnight after displaying disrespect to a member of the coaching staff. Azeez is also said to have returned to Arsenal from both Portsmouth midway through the 2021-22 season and Ibiza last season.
Perhaps Barcelona can assist him in turning a new page.
