Arsenal transfer news as Romeo Lavia’s potential move to the Emirates Stadium could be pursued despite interest from Liverpool and Chelsea.
Arsenal’sinterest in Romeo Lavia could be reignited this summer should Thomas Partey eventually leave the club. The Gunners are one of many clubs tracking the Southampton star following their relegation from the Premier League.
The 19-year-old enjoyed an impressive 2022/23 campaign with the Saints, establishing himself as one of Europe’s best holding midfielders. However, his performances could not prevent Southampton dropping to the Championship to leave his future in limbo.

The Gunners have now completed the signing of Declan Rice for a club record fee of £105million, though another central midfielder may be required before the єɴԀ of the summer transfer window.

As well as Lavia,football.londonunderstands that the door hasn’t been completely closed on a move for Moises Caicedio. The Gunners were strongly linked with the Brighton star in January, seeing two bids turned down. However, London rivals Chelsea continue to lead the race.
