Arsenal Are Keeping Tabs On This Bundesliga Defender: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes mentioned that Arsenal are keeping tabs on Stuttgart defender Finn Jeltsch. It has been claimed that the Gunners are facing competition from Bayern Munich and Liverpool in the race to land German youngster this summer.

Jeltsch’s Impressive Campaign In German Football

Jeltsch had a solid campaign at Stuttgart recently as he was responsible for putting in a run of impressive displays for them on the defensive end of the pitch. The German talent made 37 appearances for his current employers last season, securing one assist in the process across all competitions.

The 20-year-old is currently one of the most gifted young centre-backs in the Bundesliga. Thus, Arsenal would do well to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this off-season.

His current contract with Stuttgart is set to expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for the Gunners to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer period.

Arsenal Are Keeping Tabs On Jeltsch: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Jeltsch is a solid tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive and is proficient at playing his way out from the back.

Standing at 1.88m, the German sensation can use his strong frame to win a few 50-50 aerial duels for his team. Jeltsch is primarily a centre-back but can also operate as a defensive midfielder if asked to do so by his manager. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to get him on board this summer.

We can expect Jeltsch to bring more bite and steel to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s defence in the long run. He is already good enough to compete for a regular first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium next season.

At 20, the future looks quite promising for Jeltsch. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long run, so the Gunners would be wise to go all out to recruit him before the end of this transfer window.
