Arsenal’s Quest for Glory: Mikel Arteta "Obsessed" with £125 Million-Rated Midfielder
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly hell-bent on securing the services of German midfield sensation Florian Wirtz, who has been a revelation for Bayer Leverkusen this season. With the Gunners starting the 2024/25 Premier League campaign in flying form, Arteta believes Wirtz could be the missing piece of the puzzle to finally bring a first Premier League title to the Emirates.
According to TBR Football, Arteta is "obsessed" with the idea of signing Wirtz, who has made 159 appearances for Leverkusen and has been instrumental in their Bundesliga and Champions League success. The 21-year-old has already shown his class this season, scoring six goals and assisting one in just five games.
Leverkusen are expected to demand a hefty fee for Wirtz, with reports suggesting they want a whopping £125 million. However, Arteta is willing to pay top dollar to get his man, with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester City also said to be interested in the midfielder.
Wirtz’s impressive form has earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting young players in European football, and it’s easy to see why Arsenal are keen to snap him up. With his ability to control the tempo of the game, create chances for his teammates, and score crucial goals, Wirtz would be a massive asset to the Gunners’ midfield.
Arteta knows that Wirtz could be the difference between Premier League glory and another year of disappointment for Arsenal. And with Leverkusen reportedly willing to sell in the summer, the Arsenal boss is preparing to make a bold move to sign the German prodigy.
Will Arsenal be able to land Wirtz and finally bring a Premier League title to the Emirates? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain – if Arteta can get his man, Arsenal will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
