With Eintracht Frankfurt possibly making a decision on Djibril Sow’s future in January, Arsenal is prepared to compete with Newcastle United for the player
Bild reports that Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Djibril Sow is wanted by both Arsenal and Newcastle United. The 19 remaining months on the Swiss international’s contract suggest a possible exit the next January.
Though a championship run is possible, a top-four finish should be Newcastle’s primary objective. Though they’re now five points behind Arsenal, Man City is still the favourite. The head coach of the Magpies has already begun scouting the market in search of new players to add to the squad.
They need a new forward and a new midfielder. Howe addressed a major need in his squad by acquiring Bruno Guimaraes, a superb player who can contribute immediately. If Eintracht Frankfurt makes Djibril Sow available, the Magpies may be interested in signing him.
Will the Gunners get him? or Newcastle United will take him away?
Frankfurt turned down a £22 million offer from Nottingham Forest in the summer because the club wanted more money. The 25-year-old Bundesliga midfielder may attract bids from Premier League clubs if he stayed with the club.
As of January, Djibril Sow will have 18 months remaining on his contract. This will put Frankfurt under some pressure to make a decision. The Bundesliga club may have to listen to offers now that Arsenal is competing for the Swiss national team. However, if he does well at the World Cup, they may be able to increase their demands in the new year.
