Arsenal urged to make bold move for versatile midfielder to rescue him from La Liga

Briefly

"Arsenal have been told they should be ready to make a serious move for Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni if he becomes available this summer. The Gunners already have a strong midfield of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, not to forget Myles-Lewis Skelly has also been deployed in the midfield and he has been quite impressive."

"The interesting part is not just that Arsenal could strengthen their own midfield. It is also about stopping one of their biggest title rivals from getting stronger. That is where this story becomes a lot more interesting. Real Madrid could sell the French midfielder Tchouameni's future at Real Madrid appears uncertain after reports of a serious training-ground dispute involving him and Federico Valverde."

"I think it's a really difficult decision for Real Madrid because there's so much of what Tchouameni does which should be what they're going to build around in the years to come. You look at his age, you look at the number of years that he's got to give them, how much he's got to develop, how much he's developed already. He's someone who can play centre-back and not look like a midfielder playing in defence as well."

"You add on to the fact that he is a real leader and from the moment he arrived, a little bit like Jude Bellingham, he really impressed people with his personality, his attitude, his confidence, his application. But there's no getting away from the fact that he and Valverde have had this serious argument. There's probably an argument that one of them has to go, and basically, Tchouameni's got a bigger mark"
