Arsenaldon’t have a ‘serious interest’ in signingReal Madridmidfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, journalistPaul Brownhas told GIVEMESPORT.
The French international has been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, but it certainly seems unlikely.
Tchouameni signed forReal Madridlast summer for a fee of £85m, as per theMailOnline.
The 23-year-old signed a six-year Ԁєɑł at the Spanish club, and quickly became a regular, starting 26 La Liga games, as perFBref.
Despite becoming a key player at the Bernabeu,Arsenalare ɾєρօɾτedly showing an interest in the former Monaco midfielder.
According toɾєρօɾτs in Spain, the Gunners are set to make an offer to sign Tchouameni during the summer transfer window.
The ɾєρօɾτ goes on to add thatReal Madridhave little interest in allowing him to leave the club so soon after making the move to Spain.
Despite seemingly being happy at Madrid, Tchouameni has been linked with moves to multiple different sides over the last few months, so much so that he came out and addressed his future.
Hesaid: “It doesn’t wօɾɾу me, because it’s a position I’ve always wanted to be in. As long as the best clubs are following me, that means I’m doing good things.”
It appears that even ifArsenalwere considering a move for Tchouameni, it could be difficult to secure his signature considering he’s happy where he is and Madrid are unlikely to want to offload him.
What has Brown said about Tchouameni?
Brown has suggested thatArsenaldon’t have a serious interest in Tchouameni as it stands.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said:”My understanding is thatArsenaldon’t have a serious interest in Tchouameni. Even if they did, they know he’s unlikely to be leavingReal Madridanytime soon.”
Would Tchouameni be a good signing for Arsenal?
However unrealistic it might be, there’s no doubt he would be an excellent addition to Mikel Arteta’s side.
The young midfielder averaged aSofascorerating of 7.13 in La Liga last season, whilst also managing 1.5 interceptions, 1.9 tackles, and 1.5 clearances per game.
With Toni Kroos and Luka Modric now 33 and 37 years old respectively, Tchouameni, alongside Jude Bellingham and Edouardo Camavinga, is the future of Madrid’s midfield.
Right now, it wouldn’t make sense for him to move to the Emirates, but that doesn’t change the fact that it would be an exceptional signing.
Arsenal are closing in on the signing ofDeclan Rice, which is a smart addition in the middle of the park.
However,Granit Xhakacould also be on his way out, so Arteta and Edu might be in the market for another midfield option.
As per theEvening Standard, Romeo Lavia is a player attracting the interest ofArsenal.
The Southampton midfielder suffered relegation to the Championship last season, so you’d imagine a return to the Premier League this window would be of interest, and he’s certainly a more realistic target than Tchouameni.
