Arsenal‘s longstanding pursuit of Moises Caicedo drags on. However a recent update is suggestive of a breakthrough that could fast-forward this deal to completion. The versatile youngster could come in and revolutionise the right flank of Arteta’s system.
How Moises Caicedo is going to crucial in Arsenal’s future success
Having failed in his push for the Premier League title. All the attention can seemingly now turn to bolstering their already impressive squad. This has to be done in an effort to bridge the gap between themselves and Manchester City.
Fabrizio Romano recent went on to say :-
“It’s not going to be easy for sure because, for Caicedo, there is a lot of interest. All the top English clubs are working around Moises Caicedo, so it’s not easy.
“This is why Arsenal tried to sign him in January.
“But, for sure, there is Arsenal interest, and there has been a conversation with the player’s side.”
Although many might naturally assume that the Ecuador international will be recruited for the engine room. His recent exploits at right-back under Roberto De Zerbi is suggestive of a fresh idea that Arteta could employ should he tempt him to the Emirates.
Only last week, the youngster shone in that role against none other than Arsenal. He won a truly ridiculous haul of 13 ground duels, five of which were successful tackles as he shut down Gabriel Martinelli.
Caicedo’s 89% pass accuracy, 1.2 key passes and 2.8 tackles per game (via Sofascore) offer a vast upgrade on the former Citizens defender. Zinchenko instead has maintained an 88% pass accuracy, 0.7 key passes and 1.5 tackles per game.
Should this potential new man have an impact anywhere near that of Zinchenko in his debut year in north London. He could well be the catalyst for further progress under this stunning regime.
