Having spent around £100m on Declan Rice, you would think that Arsenal would be done bolstering their midfield, but an exit from Thomas Partey could change everything.
The same applies to Liverpool, who are now faced with two offers for two of their midfielders, as Al-Ettifaq want Jordan Henderson and Fabinho could end up at Al-Ittihad.
Therefore, they would both need a new player should any of those go through, and that’s where Roméo Lavia comes in, as pointed out by DH.
That both Arsenal and Liverpool want the player is nothing new, as they have been linked since his club were relegated back to the Championship, but the fact that ‘no concrete offer’ has made its way to the south coast is not what the player wanted.
For the Blues, it all depends on whether the transfer for Moises Caicedo goes through or not, but for Arsenal and Liverpool, they are ‘more inclined’ to make a move.
As mentioned above, Henderson and Fabinho could leave Anfield in the near future, but that’s where the Gunners could ‘overtake’ them, as Mikel Arteta has made Lavia his ‘priority’ should Partey be sold.
The Ghanaian is being courted by some Saudi clubs to, as well as Juventus, and that’s why we could see last year’s Premier League runner-ups move quicker than Liverpool in the next few days.
Again, it all depends on who sells who first.
