That’s pure PnP man wow

🚨 EXCL: Andrea Berta recently met with Ayyoub Bouaddi's father in NYC as #Arsenal reignite their pursuit of the #Lille midfielder. #Berta previously held talks with the family last year and Arsenal were prepared to move for the player, but #Bouaddi chose to remain at Lille to continue his development. He subsequently signed a new contract, a decision designed not only to aid his progression but also to protect Lille's position and prevent any cut price move, with his previous deal due to expire in 2027. PSG remain the strongest contenders, although concerns over playing time could yet prove decisive. Bouaddi's camp are understood to favour a project that offers a prominent starting role and a clear development pathway towards becoming one of the best players in the world in his position, something Arsenal have actively presented during discussions highlighting William #Saliba's progression as a template. I'm told the Moroccan int'l has already made his choice, with that decision expected to become public after the world cup. Worth noting there's understood to be a protective clause within the player's contract, as previously revealed, meaning any eventual transfer is unlikely to develop into a bidding war between interested clubs. Senny #Mayulu, Vasilije #Kostov and Manu #Kone also remain among the midfield profiles Arsenal continue to monitor closely. The race remains open, but Arsenal are firmly back in the picture.
