Arsenal Identify This Paris Saint-Germain Star As A Target: Dream Option For Arteta? | OneFootball

In a recent segment on Youtube, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano mentioned that Arsenal have identified Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola as a target. It has been stated that the Gunners are facing competition from Liverpool in the race to sign the French wide player in this summer transfer window.

Barcola’s Impressive Numbers In Ligue 1

The 23-year-old did well to produce a series of impressive displays on the left side of PSG boss Luis Enrique’s attack in the previous campaign. Barcola featured in 49 matches for the French outfit last season, scoring 13 times and picking up seven assists in the process across all competitions.

The France international is currently one of the most feared wingers in Ligue 1. Therefore, Arsenal would do well to get him on board in this transfer period.

His current contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire in the summer of 2028. Thus, the Gunners would have to make a convincing offer if they want to win the race for his services this off-season.

Will Barcola Be A Dream Option For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?

Barcola can use his quickness to cause a lot of problems for his marker out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to play some killer passes in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The French wide player can even strike the ball with venom from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the flanks. Barcola mainly operates as a left-winger but can also function as a right-sided player if asked to do so. However, there are some concerns over whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Gunners manage to land him later this year.

Barcola would bring more pace and goals to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s midfield department. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the coming seasons.

At 23, Barcola has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a dream option for Arteta to pursue in this summer transfer window. However, Arsenal have to give him some time to settle into life in England before they can get the best out of the player.
