Arsenal has ɾєρօɾτedly reached a verbal agreement with Southampton’s Romeo Lavia to bring him into their squad during the current transfer window following the Saint’s relegation from the Premier League.

Several clubs, including Liverpool, have expressed interest in signing the young midfielder, butArsenalappears to be leading the race for his signature.

While Arsenal’s primary target remains Declan Rice, they are open to adding more midfielders to their squad, particularly if they lose players like Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey, as some ɾєρօɾτs have suggested might happen.

Lavia did well for Soton last season; at 19, he has so much more to learn, which will happen under the guidance of Mikel Arteta.
The Spanish gaffer is one of the best at developing young talents and would be eager to mould Lavia into one of the finest midfielders in the league.
