7 reasons Arsenal should break the bank for Tchouameni

Aurelien Tchouameni, the talented midfielder who recently joined Real Madrid, has caught the attention of several top clubs across Europe. Arsenal should seriously consider adding Tchouameni to their ranks this summer for the following reasons:

  1. Versatility and Adaptability:

Tchouameni’s ability to play in multiple midfield roles would provide Arsenal with much-needed flexibility. Whether deployed as a defensive midfielder, a box-to-box player, or even in a deeper role, the youngster can contribute effectively in different tactical setups.

  1. Defensive Prowess:

The 23-year-old possesses exceptional defensive skills, showcased by his high volume of ball recoveries and interceptions. His intelligent reading of the game allows him to break up opposition attacks effectively. The Gunners’ midfield could benefit from his combative and relentless ball-winning ability.

 

  1. Physical Presence:

Standing at 6ft 2in, Tchouameni possesses an imposing physical presence. His height and long legs enable him to dominate aerial duels and provide additional defensive solidity, particularly during set-piece situations.

 

  1. Passing Range and Progression:

Despite being primarily a defensive-minded player, the Frenchman possesses excellent passing skills. He frequently looks for progressive passes that advance his team upfield, aiding in quick transitions and creating goal-scoring opportunities. Arsenal’s attacking players would greatly benefit from his ability to deliver incisive passes.

  1. Young Age and Potential:

At only 23 years old, Tchouameni has already shown immense potential. His performances at Monaco and for the French national team indicate that he has a bright future ahead. The London side could secure a long-term investment by signing him, with the possibility of him developing into one of the world’s best midfielders.

 

  1. Champions League Ambitions:

Having played in the Europa League with Monaco, Tchouameni will likely be eager to continue showcasing his skills on the biggest European stage, the UEFA Champions League. Mikel Arteta’s ambition to win the tournament aligns with Tchouameni’s desire to challenge himself against the best clubs in Europe, fighting tooth and nail with the other youngsters in the team.

  1. Succession Planning:

The midfielder’s arrival at the Emirates Stadium would provide a long-term solution for the midfield, especially considering the aging profile of some of their current midfield options.

As players like Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny approach the later stages of their careers, Tchouameni could seamlessly transition into a key role and become a pillar of Arsenal’s midfield for years to come.

He can certainly become a part of midfield pivot also including Declan Rice, who is close to joining the club.

Conclusion:

Aurelien Tchouameni’s qualities, including his versatility, defensive prowess, passing ability, and young age, make him an exciting prospect for Arsenal. His signing would provide the club with a dynamic and talented midfielder who can contribute both defensively and in the attack.

Adding Tchouameni to their ranks could be a significant step towards strengthening Arsenal’s squad and achieving their ambitions in domestic and European competitions.

  2. This would be another massive signing that would move scale significantly.

    But Arsenal do not necessarily has to break the bank for the young Frenchman,a loan option with an obligation to buy should be worth exploring.

    We have had good communication and transfer dealings with the Madrid base club in the past
    I really sanction a deal for this kid especially with uncertainty of Partey on Xhaka.

      1. Vz
        Tchouameni is an easier deal to pull off, he’s already struggling for game time.

        The arrival of Bellingham will only need to more frustrations

  3. Based on his World Cup performance, he looks like a younger and taller version of Partey

    Unfortunately, his contract will only expire in 2028 and we’ve got Rice/ Jorginho/ Elneny/ Sambi-Lokonga for the CDM role

    I don’t think Arsenal will sign a new central midfielder after signing Rice. They’d likely sign a new CB or CF instead

    1. Elneny and Sambi-Lokonga are nowhere near the level we need and Sambi will be sold. Jorginho is retained as a squad player. To compete in EPL and CL we need 5 top midfielders. We have four if Kai will be used as a MF and with Partey. If we sell Partey, we need another top MF, not Elneny, Sambi and Jorginho. It’s about quality, not numbers.

      1. And even if we get Tchouameni for Partey we are still light quality-wise, since only Rice, Oddegard, Tchouameni, and hopefully Kai can be relied on at the top level. Elneny, ESR, Viera, and Jorginho are not good enough, so it is hard to maintain for a long run in the starting 11. Unless ESR makes significant progress.

        1. I thought Elneny’s touches were very tidy when he played holding midfielder and Jorginho has shown his capabilities as a smart CDM

    2. Would you rather buy a Timber, a CF or a CB my answer is YES. We still have Enemy and Jorginho. The club has spend a lot already on midfielders. My answer for Tchouameni is NO NO.

      1. We just extended Elneny’s contract, so it wouldn’t make sense to sell him. Sambi-Lokonga could be shipped out though

  4. We will not be able to sign him permantly or at all as he is only been there for one Season for £75m so I’m sure he wants to stay there and give it a chance as it’s Real Madrid. Would be a fantastic signing no doubt and we would then be able to let Partey go but all may be next summer, we have spent loads already this summer.

    Rumours are getting that crazy we were linked with Mbappe this morning, he’s on close to £1m a week wages at PSG just to begin with.

    1. We can loan him with obligation to buy next summer. THat would give Real the money to buy Mbappe, and we grt a top MF.

  5. Tchouameni should immediately replace Jorginho, who, was bought only because Arsenal had failed to get Caicedo in the January transfer window. Jorginho is not strong enough defensively and he lacks the pace . I would keep Partey for another season , buy Tchouameni and sell Jorginho.

  6. If we could get him, yes, of course, he’s a phenomenal talent, but there is no chance of that happening. First and foremost, he’s playing for RM and is clearly part of their own ‘succession plan’, which is definitely starting to happen – he played in 50 games last season, and modric and kroos are finally showing signs of creaking. I’ve no doubt they are planning for a future midfield containing tchouameni, Bellingham and camavinga, and there’s a very good chance that will become the most formidable midfield in Europe. RM have no reason to want to break that up before it comes to fruition.
    Secondly, we already did ‘break the bank’ on rice (well, almost, presumably), and havertz, and timber (again, presumably). RM paid 80m to 100m for this guy – can we afford to pay over 100m for a player twice in the same summer?

  7. Very unlikely. His contract ends at 2028 so we gonna break the bank again for EPL unproven player. I’m sure Edu and Arteta can find someone younger, cheaper and more talented in the near future.

  8. These are only speculations, arsenal have spent over £200m already, that players fund even if it’s available which will surely be around £100m should be used to push for Osimhen…

    For me we ain’t going for that guy, he is untouchable in madrid…labia or onana is more realistically

  9. As far as I’m concerned, that price is crazy for Rice, I would rather the spend such on this young French boy. He’s for me better than Rice. It’s a stupid business to buy a player with a year left on his contract for such amount when we are selling ours cheaply. It’s absurd

  10. Great player but IMO we need a top striker as a priority. We need a 20 goal + striker to have the necessary cutting edge.

  11. Jorghino brings much more than Elneny and he will be a great squad asset. Elneny is honest, reliable and cheap to keep around but he is simply not good enough. On his best day he is not too shabby but I hope he can find a good home elsewhere.

  12. He’s more than welcome. I would like to see more competition for places in that midfield come the end of the transfer window

  13. Do you fear REALISM so VERY MUCH??!

    ADMIN COMMENT… THAT IS 3 TIMES YOUVE BROKEN YOUR AGREEMENT IN 24 HOURS.

  14. we are almost broke, and fans will still ask to break the banks
    Real will not sell Tchouameni, or sell for 100mil at least same as Bellingham. They probably will go 4-2-3-1 this year, so they can use more mids.
