Arsenal Transfer News: Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal express a great deal of interest to sign Real Madrid star Marco Asensio in the upcoming summer transfer window
Arsenal Transfer News: The ongoing edition of the English Premier League has been a ball of fire for Arsenal fans as they ran through a roller coaster ride of emotions. The Gunners narrowly missed out on making the cut for the UEFA Champions League qualification last season. They had the chance but they let it squandered in the finishing stages of the season.
Arsenal had a frustrating finish to their previous campaign by finishing fifth on the table. Needless to say, they sorted out their woes and approached this season with a fresh perspective. Even the players who didn’t have regular game time owing to stiff competition, let their performances do the talking whenever it mattered the most for the team.
Reiss Nelson was the perfect example! He turned things around for the team by providing an assist and scored a screamer in the last minute of the stoppage time. Nelson’s goal drove the Arsenal fans into dreamland. Arsenal churned out a 3-2 victory over Bournemouth FC as they restored their five-point gap above Manchester City.
Arsenal will cross swords with Sporting CP in the upcoming Europa League tie tomorrow. It will be the first leg of the Round of 16 of the European competition. After this meeting, they will play against Fulham in the London Derby on March 12 (Sunday). It will be quite interesting to see how Mikel Arteta’s team will go about their work.

Mikel Arteta has changed the entire complexion of the club after being given plenty of time. The manager tweaked the changes and the efforts are starting to pay off.
Earlier, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelloti said, “Asensio looks good to me, so I don’t know if he stays or not. Perhaps he does, maybe he doesn’t. I don’t care much. We have some important challenges this season. The most vital thing is that he contributes like last year. Let him continue as he is doing now. Then the club makes the most appropriate decision in the end.”
