Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign Belgian midfielder Arthur Vermeeren, a target for Barcelona.
A report from 90min claims that Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have submitted an enquiry to sign Arthur Vermeeren. The 18-year-old midfielder is also a target for La Liga champions Barcelona.
The Belgian wonderkid has been a key player for Royal Antwerp, and it is no surprise that Arsenal, Tottenham, and Barcelona are chasing him. He could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for all three clubs.
Arsenal and Tottenham are looking to put together formidable squads for the future, and they have already signed a number of exciting players in recent windows. Both clubs have done quite well in the Premier League this year, and they are currently the top two in the league table.
They will be hoping to sign the best young talents who can help them with major trophies, and Vermeeren certainly fits the profile. The 18-year-old is expected to develop into a world-class player in the near future with the right guidance, and he has already been nominated for the Golden Boy 2023 award.
The Belgian midfielder would be a key player for Arsenal in the coming seasons. They will look to replace the Italian international Jorginho, and the Belgian has emerged as a viable target. As far as Tottenham are concerned, they are likely to get rid of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. And the Royal Antwerp midfielder could take up his position in the side.
The 18-year-old might not be ready for regular Premier League action. But he is certainly good enough to make the step up and establish himself as a key player for the two London clubs in the near future.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are looking to add more quality to their midfield, and they have identified the 18-year-old as a target. However, they are going through financial difficulties and competing with the two Premier League clubs could prove to be difficult.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal and Tottenham follow up on their enquiry with an official bid to sign the midfielder when the transfer window opens in January. It will be an exciting next step in the player’s career and he could be tempted to move to the Premier League.
