Golden Boot Contender in the Gunners’ Sights
Arsenal’s pursuit of talent has led them to Spain’s standout performer Dani Olmo, who is currently leading the charge for the Euro 2024 Golden Boot. With five goals and two assists, the RB Leipzig star has been pivotal in Spain’s journey to the Euro final, catching the eye of the North London club.
Release Clause Countdown
The clock is ticking for Arsenal as Dani Olmo’s £60 million release clause is set to expire next week. With the player’s contract stipulations at Leipzig soon to change, Arsenal is under pressure to act swiftly to secure his signature.
Competition Heats Up for Olmo
Interest in Olmo is not limited to Arsenal, as multiple European clubs are vying for the Spanish international. Premier League rivals Manchester City have also expressed interest, having reached out to Leipzig before Olmo’s impressive Euro 2024 campaign.
Paul Robinson Praises Versatile Talent
Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has lauded Olmo’s versatility and quality, suggesting that he would make an excellent addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad. On the Inside Track podcast, Robinson highlighted Olmo’s unexpected rise to prominence in the Euros following an injury to teammate Pedri.
A Perfect Fit for Arsenal’s System?
With Arsenal on the hunt for a new attacking midfielder, Olmo’s ability to also operate on the wings makes him a particularly attractive option. Robinson sees him as a player who could enhance Arsenal’s midfield and contribute significantly in the attacking third.
Gunners’ Transfer Plans Continue
In the midst of their pursuit of Olmo, Arsenal is also reportedly preparing another bid for Dan Bentley, signaling a potentially busy transfer period for the club as they aim to bolster their ranks ahead of the next season.
