Arsenal ready to wait until January to sign Bitello

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Brazilian midfielder Bitello but are ready to wait until January to land him.

A report from Gremistas claims that Arsenal are keen on securing the services of Bitello. But the Gunners are ready to wait until January to bring the 23-year-old midfielder to the Emirates.

Initially, there were rumours that Arsenal could look to secure Bitello’s services this summer. But it seems that the Gunners are ready to play the waiting game, particularly because Gremio have requested to retain the Brazilian midfielder until the end of the season.

Arsenal have already signed Declan Rice from West Ham United this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they bring another central midfielder before the window closes. Bitello is highly rated in South America, and he could develop into a quality player for Arsenal in the near future.

The 23-year-old has the technical attributes to thrive in English football, and it will be interesting to see if the Gunners can secure an agreement with Gremio for his services. The Gunners have recently sanctioned the departure of Granit Xhaka, while Thomas Partey has been linked with a move away from the club.

Arsenal will have to bring in the necessary reinforcements before the new season begins. Xhaka was a key player for Arsenal last season, and Partey was instrumental in their second-place finish in the Premier League as well. Arsenal have qualified for the UEFA Champions League. So they need a deeper squad to navigate the fixture congestion.

Someone like Bitello could have been a handy option this summer, and it will be interesting to see how the situation surrounding his future evolves. The 23-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future, and he could be a solid, long-term investment for the London club.

Arsenal certainly have the finances to get the deal done, considering they have been quite extravagant in the transfer market so far. It is evident that Arsenal are doing everything in their power to push Manchester City for the title once again.

Meanwhile, the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite tempting for the talented young midfielder and he will be hoping to secure a move to Arsenal soon. Someone like Mikel Arteta could be the ideal manager to nurture Bitello and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.
