BID ACCEPTED: Arsenal first bid to sign £60m highly rate champions league winner has just been approved, Fabrizio Romano confirms medical to follow up soon
Arsenal is vigorously pursuing top-tier talent this summer, with reports indicating that one of the world’s premier midfielders has several potential club destinations. Last season, the Gunners nearly matched Manchester City, but manager Mikel Arteta recognizes the need for increased quality and squad depth to advance further.
Currently, Arsenal is linked with multiple players in the transfer market. Nico Williams is among those targeted, and Viktor Gyokeres has also been frequently mentioned. The Gunners are focusing on acquiring a new forward, a midfielder to complement Declan Rice, and a full-back.
Notably, one of the standout midfielders from Euro 2024 is reportedly open to joining Arsenal. According to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal is a prospective destination for Joshua Kimmich.
In a social media update, Plettenberg highlighted that Kimmich currently operates without an agent, necessitating direct contact from interested clubs. Kimmich is anticipated to seek a salary of approximately £17 million annually, which would rank him among Arsenal’s highest earners.
### Impact of Kimmich on Arsenal
Joshua Kimmich is a transformative player capable of making a substantial impact on any team. His performances for Bayern Munich have been exceptional, including eight Bundesliga titles and a Champions League victory in 2020. Kimmich’s versatility allows him to excel in various positions, but the potential partnership with Declan Rice in midfield is particularly enticing for Arsenal supporters.
Securing Kimmich’s signature could dramatically improve Arsenal’s prospects of surpassing Manchester City in the upcoming season.
