Arsenal’s summer planning appears to have taken an intriguing turn, with TeamTalk reporting that Manchester City midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is on the club’s long list of targets.
The Netherlands international only joined City from AC Milan last June in a £46.5 million deal, yet his future is already uncertain. TeamTalk state that City “would consider offers in the region of £45 million”, effectively allowing them to recover their original outlay.
For Arsenal, the attraction is obvious. Reijnders offers technical security, mobility and tactical flexibility, qualities Mikel Arteta values in a midfield that must cope with Premier League and Champions League demands.
