Arsenal are keen on signing the Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Oscar Gloukh at the end of the season.
A report from Football Insider claims that they have watched the 19-year-old in action this season and they are keeping tabs on his development. The report further states that Aston Villa are keen on the player as well.
The technically gifted midfielder is highly rated across European football and he has a bright future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the Gunners.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player in the summer. The midfielder has six goals and seven assists to his name this season and he will add creativity and goals to the Arsenal attack. The 19-year-old usually operates in the number ten role and he could be the ideal understudy to club captain Martin Odegaard.
Arsenal have a talented squad at their disposal, but they need more depth in order to compete across multiple competitions. Players like Gloukh could prove to be useful squad options right now and the 19-year-old could develop into a key player in the long term.
Oscar Gloukh to Arsenal?
The opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League will be an attractive proposition for the young midfielder and he will look to test himself in the Premier League if the opportunity comes along.
Arsenal certainly have the financial resources to sign the player and it will be interesting to see if Red Bull Salzburg are prepared to sanction his departure. He has a contract with them until the summer of 2027 and the Austrian outfit could demand premium for him in the summer.
