Arsenal They have reportedly expressed interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen star Alejandro Grimaldo this summer, according to football transfers.
After moving to the BayArena as a free agent last summer, the 28-year-old has enjoyed a stellar campaign this season, scoring 11 goals and registering 14 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.
Thus, it seems that impressed by the Spaniard's impressive recent performances with Xavi Alonso's team, the Gunners have shown their interest in signing him.
It has been suggested that the north London club could be interested in signing a new left-back to support Oleksandr Zinchenko. Mikel Arteta have used Jakub Kiwior in that position amid the Ukrainian's absence this season, but he has been linked with a departure from the club in recent times.
So Arsenal have apparently started exploring the market to sign a new left-back. A few names have been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, including Miguel Gutierrez and Ferdi Kadioglu, but Grimaldo now emerges as a new target.
Grimaldo to Arsenal
According to the report of football transfersArsenal are interested in signing the 28-year-old and could make a concrete approach to secure his services in the off-season.
The report further claims that Leverkusen are a selling club, so would be willing to cash in on the Spaniard, valued at around £33m, if they receive a lucrative offer.
However, football transfers says that getting Grimaldo's signature will not be easy for the north London club, as Liverpool And Bayern Munich is also interested in acquiring him.
The former Benfica star is a player with great technical talent and feels very comfortable with the ball at his feet. He is efficient at set pieces and also has a good eye for scoring goals from distance. Furthermore, Grimaldo can make excellent crosses from wide areas and also has the efficiency to create opportunities for attackers.
So, the 28-year-old possesses the necessary attributes to play in Arteta's possession-based system and could therefore be a shrewd signing for the Emirates club if they eventually acquire his service in the next transfer window.
