Arsenal are reportedly leading the race for Javi Guerra as Mikel Arteta plans a midfield overhaul ahead of the summer window.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal are the leading contender for Javi Guerra, with Valencia likely to concede defeat in their efforts to keep hold of the midfielder. Mikel Arteta is planning for a midfield overhaul at the Emirates as the 21-year-old La Liga midfield technician is seen as an ideal addition to his system.
Arsenal are planning to make some important moves in the transfer market, with Mikel Arteta already open to a midfield overhaul. The Gunners have once again fallen short of challenging for the Premier League title, although their season still has some hope following the stellar win over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinals.
Declan Rice was the hero of that first-leg clash with two stellar free-kick goals, and he does appear to be the long-term option for Arteta to build his midfield around. Thomas Partey and Jorginho are expected to depart in the summer when their contract expires, as Arsenal are expected to make moves for multiple midfielders in the market.
The Gunners have done sufficient groundwork in the background for priority midfield target Martin Zubimendi, with new sporting director Andrea Berta now tasked with closing the deal. Arteta has another Spanish midfielder in his sights, as the Gunners are now keen to refresh the age of their central areas.
Arsenal are interested in Javi Guerra, with the Valencia star excelling in his midfield position far beyond his age. The 21-year-old La Liga midfield technician has plenty of ability to make an important place for himself at Arsenal, as Arteta is reportedly a big fan of the La Liga star.
Valencia could sell Javi Guerra
Guerra brings big energy in the midfield and excels in all boxes, as this could be the profile of a player that Arteta so dearly loves. There were many clubs keen before the January window, although Arsenal are the one currently leading the race as per the report.
Valencia for their part are not eager to lose the midfielder, although with his contract ending in 2027, the upcoming summer window will be the best time for them to cash in. The financial issues with the La Liga side could force the issue, as Guerra might get his big move, possibly to Arsenal in the summer.
