Mikel Arteta’s influence at Arsenal since joining has been immense, completely reviving the club.
Last season, the Gunners narrowly missed out on the Premier League title after they fell at the final hurdle, and this season, it seems that they’ve gone to a whole new level of quality.
The Spaniard has gotten the squad to a point where, regardless of injuries, the standard of performance rarely decreases, which just proves how far they’ve come in recent years.
Nonetheless, the boss is still keen to improve his team and the quality of his depth, hence his interest in signing a new midfielder in the summer.
Arsenal want to sign a midfielder this summer
According to a report from Italian outlet CalcioMercato.it, the scouting department at Arsenal likes the prospect of re-signing Ismael Bennacer.
The midfielder – who previously spent two years at the Emirates – is currently playing for Serie A giants AC Milan, where he has become a key player in recent years.
Despite being in a contract until June 2027, it is believed that Milan would be willing to let the Algerian leave this summer if a fee of €50m (£43m) arrived.
However, if the Gunners do decide to make a move for Bennacer, they will face competition from Saudi Arabia.
