With the likes of Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny and Jorginho in their late 20s, it is unsurprising Arsenal are being linked with more than two midfielders to strengthen their squad in the next campaign.
According to various reports, Arsenal are lining up moves for West Ham United midfielder, Declan Rice. The midfielder, who opened the scoring for England against Italy on Thursday is currently under the radar of the Gunners.
Rice is not the only player linked with Arsenal. Brighton and Hove Albion’s sensational midfielder, Moises Caicedo and Southampton’s youngster, Romeo Lavia are also rumoured to be Arsenal targets for the summer transfer window.

As reported by the infamous transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners are interested in signing both aforementioned midfielders.
Speaking on his YouTube channel as reported by Football London, Romano said: “Romeo Lavia is attracting very important interest.
“He is a top talent as a midfielder. Let me say one thing, the buy-back clause for Manchester City is in the contract starting from summer 2024, not now, this is why Man City do not have full control over Lavia this upcoming summer. Other clubs are interested, Arsenal are keeping an eye on the player, and Arsenal are following Romeo Lavia, at the moment it’s nothing advanced.
“Remember my words, Caicedo remains a target after the discussions they had during the January transfer window. Caicedo is on the list again at Arsenal and Romeo Lavia is a player they are following.”
With the title charge already at its peak, the north London club are gradually en route to ending its league title drought which currently stood at 19 years. Ever since they achieved the ‘invincibles’, they have been falling short of winning the Premier League title.
