Ansu Fati is a player that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are interested in signing. He declined the opportunity to join Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur team.
Football Transfers, which has identified two possible roadblocks for Arsenal in their attempt to finalize a deal for Fati, says as much.
What then is being said regarding Ansu Fati and Arsenal? Let’s examine this.
What is the tale?
As per Football Transfers, Ansu Fati is a target for Arsenal.
Right now, Fati is a Barcelona loanee playing for Brighton & Hove Albion. During the summer transfer window, the forward for the Spain national team joined the Seagulls.
Tottenham Hotspur was reportedly close to acquiring Fati on a loan from Barcelona in the summer of 2023, according to Guillem Balague of BBC Sport.
According to the article, the young player had discussions with Ange Postecoglou, the head coach of Spurs, but he chose to join Brighton after speaking with Roberto De Zerbi.
Arsenal has reportedly “expressed an interest” in signing the forward, who is valued at £198,000 a week (Salary Sport), according to Football Transfers.
However, there are two potential hurdles. The report has claimed that Liverpool and Manchester United are also keen on the youngster.
The other problem is that Fati himself wants to return to Barcelona at the end of his loan spell and prove himself at the La Liga champions.
Ansu Fati would be a coup for Arsenal
In my opinion, if Arsenal are able to sign Ansu Fati, then it would be quite a signing for the Gunners.
Fati is one of the best young players in the world. The Spain international is only 21 and has huge potential. After all, you do not play almost 100 La Liga matches for Barcelona without bring very good
Of course, we know that Arsenal have a very good attacking unit. The Gunners are not exactly in desperate need of another wide player or ‘forward’.
What Arsenal need is a number 9, a striker who can bang in the goals more frequently than Gabriel Jesus does. Dusan Vlahovic has been linked. Ivan Toney is also on the Gunners’ radar.
However, Fati is one of the best talents around, and I believe that he would be a brilliant investment for Arsenal in the long run.
Fati has made one start and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Brighton and Hove Albion this season. The forward has scored two goals in those games.
The forward has scored two goals and given one assist in four UEFA Europa League matches for the Seagulls this season.
