The Premier League matches having been published, the countdown of the new season is officially on.
Of the 20 clubs, few received a more delicate start in the countryside than Arsenal, which will start the new season against Manchester United in Old Trafford on August 17.
After that, they also face Liverpool in Anfield, Manchester City at home and Newcastle in St James’ Park, all in their first six games, so Mikel Arteta will be extra-butt to get his new signatures quickly, so could he be a change in his midfielder?
Arsenal targeting a new midfielder
While the Gunners desperately need to add an attack this summer, they do not neglect their midfielder either, with Martin Zubimenddi ready to be announced as a new signature of Real Sociedad.
The Spaniard was in London during the week to finalize his visit to the Premier League team and he could be joined in the English capital by another midfielder.
According to a report of TBR footballArsenal “investigates” in Paris Saint-Germain, while targeting a decision to sign Warren Zaïre-Emery.
They quote Thierry Henry, who managed the 19 -year -old young man with the French youth teams, who says that “the sky is the limit” for the “magnificent” midfielder, adding “I have never seen such a young player if mature”.
The French international, who joined PSG at the age of eight, made his senior debut against Clermont Foot in August 2022, accumulating 124 apparitions for the Red-and-Blue to date, more recently starting their defeat of the Club World Cup against Botafogo at the Pink Bowl on Thursday evening.
However, it was something of a rarity, since Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz are firmly the trio of first choice of Luis Enrique; These three were deployed for the nine Knock-Out phase games of the Champions League, as well as the opening match of the Club World Cup against Atlético Madrid last Sunday.
So, could the teenager be tempted to exchange Paris for northern London looking for more regular playing time?
The last on Arsenal field circles
As indicated by David Ornstein and James McNicholas Earlier this week, Martín Zubimenddi went to London to “fill the formalities” before joining Arsenal, the Gunners paying his Sociedad Liberation clause of 51.7 million pounds Sterling.
Meanwhile, it’s now a little over a week before the expiration of Thomas Parte’s contract, with Matteo Moretto d’Espn saying that the Ghanian international should now leave “this summer, with Elis Araç buy of Turkish Outlet X Sports Saying that Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are ready to make an offer.
Party 52 appearances Last season, starting 45 games in all competitions, including 31 Premier League games as well as 11 in the Champions League, stressing that it was a pivotal figure that would need replacement.
Given that Jorginho has already joined Flamengo, giving them excellent performances at the Club World Cup, the arrival of Zubimenddi will not be enough, so Zaïre-Emery could fill the void of Party?
Well, let’s assess how young French people and Party compare himself.

Jacob Whitehead and Peter Rutzler of athletics Describe the teenager as a “promising perspective”, praising his “ability to survive physically” to such a young age.
Waiting for, Beth Limb of total football analysis Means that Zaïre-Emery is the best when deploying “ on the right side of the midfielder for two ”, always presenting a ridiculous “quantity of composure”, which could see him placed in the role of Party alongside Declan Rice.
Thus, if Zaïre-Emery acts to move away from the European Champions PSG this summer, Arsenal should do everything they can to convince him that they are the right destination.
