BREAKING NEWS: According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal signing him will be beneficial because he will be a good substitute for Thomas Partey. He is one of the best, and I believe the fans would agree. I see Rodri in him, and he’ll help Declan Rice.” According to sources, Ian Wright has urged the team to recruit the Bundesliga’s top player. Wright urges Arsenal to sign a Bundesliga player who can replace Rodri and unlock Declan Rice.

Arsenal is eyeing Leon Goretzka, Bayern Munich’s midfielder, as a potential solution to fill the void left by Rodri and provide Declan Rice with more flexibility to advance in the midfield.

Francis Jeffers, a former Arsenal striker, advocates for Goretzka’s recruitment, believing it would inject new vitality into Arsenal’s midfield.

He suggests that Mikel Arteta might not be optimizing Rice’s talents, the high-profile signing from last summer.

Despite Goretzka’s impactful performances for Bayern Munich, stiff competition within the squad has prompted Jeffers to propose Arsenal consider this transfer opportunity.

Jeffers recently observed Goretzka’s play at the Emirates Stadium and emphasized to Ladbrokes Fanzone that Rice excels when given freedom to influence the game beyond the traditional number six role. Jeffers envisions Goretzka’s imposing presence in midfield, alongside Rice and Martin Odegaard further up the field, as a significant boost for the team.

With Thomas Partey sidelined due to injuries sustained last year, uncertainties linger about Arteta’s plans for his involvement. Jeffers highlights the physicality that players like Goretzka and Rodri bring, which could intimidate opponents.

The potential acquisition of Goretzka prompts discussions about Arsenal’s midfield depth. Charles Watts, an Arsenal correspondent, has mentioned other midfield targets, including Amadou Onana, Douglas Luiz, and Martin Zubimendi.

However, Goretzka’s profile offers a unique dimension that could complement Arsenal’s style, potentially allowing for tactical adjustments that grant Rice more attacking freedom similar to Odegaard’s role.

Securing a player of Rodri’s caliber, as demonstrated in his recent performances for Manchester City, could be a significant achievement for Arsenal, potentially propelling the club to new heights.
