According to Bild, Arsenal is keeping an eye on Joao Palhinha as a potential target in midfield, even if Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi are already available.
With both Jorginho and Thomas Partey leaving the Gunners this summer, the new sports director Andrea Berta was determined to bring more new midfielders, thereby ensuring the depth of Arsenal's squad. The London team spent £ 11 million to buy Brentford captain Christian Norgiard, Arsenal also spent 55 million pounds to release the contract of Martin Zubimendi with Real Sociedad.
According to Bild, Arsenal is keeping an eye on Joao Palhinha as a potential target in midfield, even if Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi are already available. The Gunners knew that Palhinha was not guaranteed the main stone position in Bayern, so they accepted 25 to 30 million euros for this deal.

Arsenal is keeping an eye on Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha. |
Palhinha is a central midfielder with good dispute, he will be a quality addition to Arsenal's midfield, but it is not known whether Bayern is willing to sell his players. Arsenal is also on the way to recruit striker Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon.
The North London team is also negotiating with Crystal Palace to recruit Eberechi Eze after agreeing to personal terms with this England player. Eze has a £ 68 million contract release clause at Selhurst Park and Palace want to receive this money, while Arsenal only wants to spend about 55 million pounds.
