Arsenal is interested in 20-year-old La Liga midfielder

Elche youngster Rodrigo Mendoza has become the latest midfielder linked with a potential move to Arsenal as the club continues to monitor emerging talent in La Liga. Spain has long been recognised for producing exceptional players in every position, yet their reputation for developing midfielders remains particularly strong. The country has seen several legendary figures in the past and continues to nurture promising footballers capable of performing at the highest level. Mendoza appears to be one of the newest names to attract significant attention as he develops into an eye catching presence in La Liga, and Arsenal are reportedly eager to bring him into their squad.

At 20, Mendoza has already established himself as one of the most important players in the Elche team. Regular playing time has contributed to his rapid development, and he is expected to continue progressing as the season unfolds. Arsenal have a track record of investing in young players whom they believe can grow within their system, and Mendoza fits the profile of a talent who could potentially become an asset in the future.

Interest From Across Europe

The level of attention surrounding the midfielder extends beyond England. Several leading European clubs, including Juventus and Real Madrid, are also monitoring his development closely. According to Informacion, Arsenal are among the suitors who remain particularly keen on the possibility of adding him to their squad. As cited by the source, all interested clubs are expected to continue observing Mendoza over the coming months before deciding whether to pursue a move during the summer transfer window. This period will be crucial in determining the next phase of his career, as consistent performances will strengthen his position as one of La Liga’s most intriguing young midfielders.

Arsenal’s Potential Plans

If Arsenal do decide to proceed with a transfer, it is likely that Mendoza would initially struggle for regular minutes in their current squad. The depth and competition in Arsenal’s midfield mean that game time for a developing player could be limited. For that reason, a loan move would almost certainly be required to ensure he continues receiving valuable experience. Such an arrangement would allow him to grow while giving Arsenal the chance to integrate him into their long-term plans.
