Arsenal Are Set To Rival Real Madrid For This Bundesliga Youngster: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, TuttoJuve mentioned that Arsenal are set to rival Real Madrid for Stuttgart youngster Finn Jeltsch. It has been stated that the Gunners are in the running alongside Los Blancos and Juventus in the race to sign the German centre-back next year.

Jeltsch’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga

The 20-year-old has made a solid start to this Bundesliga campaign after putting in a few impressive displays at the heart of Stuttgart’s backline. Jeltsch has featured in six matches for the German club so far this season, securing one assist in the process on all fronts.

The German whizkid is currently one of the most gifted young centre-backs in the Bundesliga. Hence, it is no surprise that the Gunners are hoping to land him next year.

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

Arsenal Are Set To Rival Real Madrid For Jeltsch: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Jeltsch is a good tackler of the ball and can scan the danger well to earn the ball back for his team on the defensive end of the pitch. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive and is a tidy passer as well from the back.

Standing at 1.88m, the German talent can use his strong frame to win a few 50-50 aerial duels for his side. Jeltsch is primarily a centre-back but can also serve as a defensive midfielder if told to do so. However, only time will tell whether he can adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to get him on board in 2027.

We can expect Jeltsch to bring more quality and depth to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club.

At 20, Jeltsch has the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each season. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the long run, so Arsenal would be wise to snap him up next year.
