The Spanish manager asked Arsenal to sign one of the Premier League’s very best players from last season.

The club’s technical secretariat has had to change their summer plans after the possibility of signing Morgan Rogers cooled considerably in the last few hours. As a result, Arteta has asked the board to explore alternative ways to reinforce the last few meters of attacking play.
The Basque badly needs a player with the natural ability to break through the opponent’s defensive wall and create more movement and flow in the final third – so that Arsenal can launch a real siege against the opponent’s pitch.
Arsenal go for Morgan Gibbs-White
The main focus of the London club is now solely on playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White. The attacking midfielder from Nottingham Forest was close to leaving the club last summer, when negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur were almost finalized.
At the most intense time of the transfer window, Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, stepped in to stop the transfer. He persuaded the England international to lead the project for one more season. That manoeuvre from the president kept the midfield star at the club – but his outstanding play this season has once again piqued the interest of the most powerful clubs in England.
