Enzo Fernandez to Arsenal?

Arsenal are close to winning the Premier League title, and they have reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal are monitoring his situation, and they could look to make a move for him in the summer.

The World Cup winner is also a target for Barcelona and Manchester City. He has a long-term contract with Chelsea until 2032, and the Blues have no intention of letting him leave. Any club hoping to sign him will have to pay a premium.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is willing to break the Bank for him. It is fair to assume they will have to break their transfer to get the deal done. Chelsea paid around £107 million to sign the player, and they will look to recoup most of that and make a profit.
