Arsenal Are Eyeing A Move For This Bournemouth Winger: What Will He Add To Arteta’s Side? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Arsenal are eyeing a move for Bournemouth winger Rayan this off-season. It has been stated that the Gunners are keeping a keen eye on the Brazilian wide player ahead of a potential move for him this summer.

Rayan’s Impressive Rise At Bournemouth Last Season

Rayan managed to shine with his performances on the right side of Bournemouth’s attack in the previous campaign. The 19-year-old found the back of the net seven times and earned a couple of assists in 16 matches for the Cherries last season on all fronts.

The Brazilian talent is currently among the most talented young wingers in the Premier League. Hence, it is no surprise that the Gunners are eager to snap him up this summer.

His current contract at the Vitality Stadium will run out in the summer of 2031, which could make it tough for Arsenal to sign him on the cheap later this year.

What Will Rayan Add To Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta’s Side?

Rayan has got the pace to cause a lot of problems for his marker out in the wide areas. He is a decent dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the eye to play some killer passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

The Brazilian youngster can shoot the ball with power from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating a few important goals for his team. Rayan is primarily a right-winger but can also fill in as a left-sided wide player or play in the number ten position if needed. He has already got some experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal.

Rayan would add more pace and goals to Mikel Arteta’s attack in the long run. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team place at the Emirates Stadium next season.

At 19, the future looks quite promising for Rayan as long as he continues to improve with each year. He has the potential to be a world-class wide player someday. Therefore, Arsenal would do well to get a deal over the line for him in this summer transfer window.
