Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are reportedly not ready to accept the chance to sign Barcelona forward Ansu Fati.
According to journalist Miguel Delaney in his Reading the Game newsletter in The Independent (12:05pm, May 26, 2023), intermediaries have offered Barcelona forward Ansu Fati to Arsenal.
However, the Gunners have yet to make a decision on whether or not to sign the 20-year-old Spain international forward, described as “extraordinary” by Barcelona head coach Xavi in October 2022.
Delaney wrote: “With Barcelona looking to sell a host of players, Ansu Fati is one of those seen as most attainable.
“He is one of Europe’s brightest young talents, but injuries have hampered his development.
“Intermediaries are looking at whether a move to Arsenal would be possible but they aren’t biting yet.”
What should Arsenal do about Barcelona forward Ansu Fati?
In our view, Arsenal should not sign Ansu Fati from Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
Fati is a very talented and promising player, but he is only 20.
Arsenal need someone who is more experienced and more established to play upfront with Gabriel Jesus or compete with the Brazil international striker.
Jesus is not a particularly prolific striker, and Arsenal could do with bringing someone in who would be able to score goals regularly.
Fati is still a player who is developing.
The Barcelona no. 10 can operate out wide or down the middle as a central striker.
The 20-year-old has made 12 starts and 23 substitute appearances in La Liga for Barcelona this season.
Fati has scored six goals and given three assists in those games.
