Reports
have now revealed a strong interest from Arsenal for Sporting Lisbon defensive
midfielder William Carvalho.
The Gunners who lost to Southampton earlier today not only lacked in the defense
but also suffered with the same midfield issues.
Since
the departure of Alex Song to Barcelona, Arsene Wenger has not found a quality
defensive midfielder.
Metro
published an article earlier today that Arsenal must sign either Morgan
Schneiderlin or William Carvalho who is set to join the Gunners, according to several
reports.
Schneiderlin
was also linked heavily in the past and he was strongly pushing a move to the Gunners,
however, it was Wenger who did not take it seriously.
But
now it seems like Carvalho deal is done, soon the North London side will announce their first
summer signing.
Carvalho
was also linked with the Gunners in the summer but opted to stay in Portugal. But this
month he will be finalizing his move to the Premier League.
North
London side are keen to land him for a right price which is around €25million.
Daily
Star and Daily Mail have reported that Arsenal will be signing the Portuguese
midfielder in the next couple of days.
