Arsenal is reportedly eyeing Argentine defensive midfielder Ezequiel Fernandez for a transfer this summer. As conveyed by Diego Monroig through Bolavip, the Gunners are keen on reinforcing their squad in their quest to clinch the Premier League title next season. They view Fernandez as a valuable addition to their midfield, both for immediate impact and future potential.
Fernandez, who has progressed through the ranks at Boca Juniors since his youth, was promoted to the first team at the start of 2023. He has since made 67 appearances for the club, netting five goals. Currently, Fernandez is showcasing his talent on the international stage, representing Argentina at the Olympics. Notably, he scored in a 3-1 victory over Iraq, though Argentina faced a setback in their first group match against Morocco.
The midfielder’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from several clubs. Despite having four years remaining on his contract with Boca Juniors, there is growing speculation about a potential transfer this summer. Recently, Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah attempted to secure his services with a $17 million offer, which Boca Juniors rejected, even though Fernandez was open to the move.
Now, Arsenal has shown a serious interest in acquiring Fernandez. They are seeking a young midfielder to partner with Declan Rice and believe Fernandez could be a valuable long-term asset. Arsenal has communicated their interest to Fernandez’s representatives, aiming to incorporate him into their squad for the 2024/25 season. Although no formal offer has been made yet, Arsenal’s keen interest poses a challenge for Boca Juniors in retaining the promising young talent.
