Arsenal are now interested in signing Benjamin Henrichs. Arteta and Arsenal prefers players who can play the inverted role. Henrichs will be vital if he signs for Arsenal this summer. Arsenal are in a spending spree and would like to sign many more this summer.
That comes from German writer Florian Plettenberg. Who details Mikel Arteta‘s interest in German international Benjamin Henrichs.
The RB Leipzig star is described as a merely backup option for the Gunners. But remains a fine asset who would certainly bolster a squad searching for more squad depth.
He went on to say:-
“Talks between Arsenal and the player’s management took place. Gunners considering Benjamin Henrichs as a backup target. Arteta, with a very good opinion about the German national. Contract at Leipzig until 2025; important player for coach Rose.”
Benjamin Henrichs is only considered as a back up by Arsenal
Having spent time in both his homeland and France in various stints. The defender has now settled as an important cog for a strong Leipzig outfit.
Although once regarded as a top attacking full-back as a youngster. However, Henrichs has swiftly grown into a mature, solid asset, who can often be relied upon.
The all-around nature of his game would make him a fine asset to balance Oleksandr Zinchenko on the opposite flank. And this will allow their system to continue flourishing.
The Ukraine international excelled stepping into midfield as the North London outfit pushed for the Premier League title. This is with his 88% pass accuracy. 80.3 touches and 0.7 key passes per game (via Sofascore) given the platform to succeed from White’s defending.
He would maintain the joint third-highest pass completion rate of anyone within his squad too. However, this is to emphasise his importance in dictating the play.
Given Henrichs outperforms the England international in these defensive situations. Plus has some creativity to push forward should a low-block be frustrating Arteta. He would mark an instant upgrade to allow even more freedom for his potential new 26-year-old teammate.
