Arsenal Set for Shock Move? 31-Year-Old Midfielder Linked Again

The signs have been telling – Arsenal are set for a massive summer transfer window.

Across the squad, there are key positions that will require strengthening once the campaign ends. Most of the rumours have centred around potential attacking additions – particularly at centre-forward – but we can't overlook other crucial areas. Chief among the priorities will be bolstering the midfield, largely due to the expected departures of Thomas Partey and Jorginho at the base of midfield. Additionally, Martin Ødegaard's performances this season might further persuade the club to dip into the market.

The latest name linked with filling that potential void is a player the Gunners have admired for some time. Polish international Piotr Zieliński, who currently plays for Inter Milan, is reportedly attracting interest from Arsenal ahead of a potential summer move. According to Inter Live, the Gunners are keen on securing his services. Before joining the Milan club on a free transfer last year, Zieliński was a long-standing target during his time at Napoli.

This summer might present Arsenal with the perfect opportunity to finally land a long-term target, especially given his reported £12 million fee. However, one major stumbling block could prevent the move altogether – the Polish midfielder turns 31 next month. While he still offers undeniable quality, it's hard to see the Gunners making a move for a player nearing the twilight of his career. That said, we'll just have to wait and see.
