Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign the Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey in a €14 million deal at the end of the season.
According to a report from the Turkish publication Hurriyet, Arsenal have tabled a €14 million bid for French defender Sacha Boey.
It is no surprise that Arsenal are looking to sign a quality right-back this summer. The Gunners have been using Ben White as a full-back this season. But the former Brighton & Hove Albion defender is more suited to a central role.
Arsenal must look to bring in a quality right-back this summer, and Boey would be a superb long-term investment. Although White has done well defensively, the 22-year-old Frenchman would add more quality to the side going forward.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has proven himself in Turkey, and the opportunity to play in the Premier League could be an attractive option for him. Arsenal have a proven track record of nurturing talented young players into established stars, and they could help the French defender improve and fulfil his potential.
The Gunners managed to challenge for the league title this season and they will be hoping to go all the way next year. They have secured qualification to the Champions League as well and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions.
It remains to be seen whether Galatasaray are willing to accept the €14 million offer from Arsenal. The 22-year-old is a key player for the Turkish outfit and they will not want to lose him for cheap. A move to the Premier League would be the ideal next step for the defender’s career and he will be hoping to test himself at a higher level.
It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can come to an agreement soon. Mikel Arteta could help the 22-year-old Frenchman improve as a defender and establish himself as a key player for club and country in the coming seasons.
Boey has clearly outgrown the Turkish league, and he needs a new challenge in order to progress as a player. Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world and he should look to secure a move to the north London club this summer.
