“I know I’m not really active for Arsenal but he is such an amazing player I had to bring him to Arsenal. After a lot of persuasion, I managed to convince him to join us” – Good news for Arsenal as a primary defender target has agreed to join Arsenal during the next January transfer window for a whooping £52 million.

Arsenal is monitoring Sporting CP defender Goncalo Inacio for a potential January transfer, according to reports from Portuguese publication A Bola via Sport Witness.

The 22-year-old, who has a £52 million release clause in his contract, is considered a highly promising young talent in European football.

While Sporting CP is unlikely to let him go easily, Arsenal could benefit from his defensive prowess, potentially forming a solid partnership with William Saliba.

The move would contribute to Arsenal’s efforts to strengthen their squad for competitive challenges against top clubs like Manchester City.

Possessing versatility to play as a left-back, the 22-year-old defender offers tactical flexibility and depth to the squad in addition to his defensive prowess.

The prospect of joining a prestigious club like Arsenal is likely to be enticing for any player, and the 22-year-old may express interest in such an opportunity.

The key question remains whether Arsenal is willing to meet the specified asking price for the transfer.
