Bengaluru, June 21: Arsenal are in the market for a central midfielder who could take Aaron Ramsey’s place after he left for Juventus and according to reports in England, the Gunners have identified Red Bull Salzburg teenager Dominik Szoboszlai to fill up the void.
The Spanish manager is looking to rebuild the squad slowly and already making a blueprint of the summer window. It is supposed to be a busy summer at the Emirates - with a number of players set to be offloaded to make room for new recruits. Players like Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be sold to free up the wage bill while the likes of Mustafi and El-Neny could be offloaded to make room for new arrivals.
The Gunners thus have already been linked with a number of defenders and attackers. However, the Hungary youngster is now the latest name to be thrown in the mix. The central midfielder is just 18 years old, but he has been impressive enough to catch the attention of a number of top clubs.
He started the season with Salzburg’s feeder club FC Liefering but got a November call-up to the senior Salzburg squad which he utilised properly by contributing five goals and six assists in 20 games.
