Arsenal Have Set Their Sights On This Bundesliga Youngster: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Arsenal have set their sights on Bayer 04 Leverkusen youngster Ibrahim Maza. It has been claimed that the Gunners are eyeing a move to acquire the services of the Algerian playmaker this off-season.

Maza’s Impressive Rise In The Bundesliga

Maza managed to shine at times with his performances for Leverkusen in the final third last season. The 20-year-old played in 49 matches for the German outfit in the previous campaign, netting five goals and earning seven assists across all competitions.

The Algerian talent is currently one of the best young playmakers in the Bundesliga. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Gunners are keen on recruiting him in this transfer window.

His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for Arsenal to sign him on a cut-price deal later this year.

Arsenal Have Set Their Sights On Maza: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Maza is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to play some killer passes in and around the opponent’s area. He can strike the ball with power from long range.

The Algerian sensation has already added a handful of goals and assists to his game. Maza is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a centre-forward or as a box-to-box midfielder if told to do so. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to sign him in this transfer window.

We can expect Maza to inject more firepower into Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s attack. He is good enough to challenge for a regular starting place at the North London club next season.

At 20, Maza has got the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. All in all, Maza is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Arsenal should focus on trying everything they can to lure him to the Emirates Stadium in this summer transfer period.
