“Forget Caicedo”: This Serie A Midfield Power House Could Be The Marquee Signing Arteta Needs
There is speculation that another midfielder will join Arsenal this summer, but the real question is, “Who will Arsenal sign?” It could be Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic; the Serbian will be on the move in the summer, and Pete O’Rourke believes Arsenal will get a marquee signing if the Lazio midfielder joins them. O’Rourke is so confident in Savic’s impact at the Emirates that if Arteta had to choose between Caicedo and Savic, he says he shouldn’t hesitate to pass on the Brighton man. He told Give Me Sport: “He’s a top player, probably got more experience than him, has played at a higher level for longer than him as well, so would maybe be the more marquee signing than Caicedo, in that respect. Slightly different players as well; Milinkovic-Savic scores more goals and provides more going forward than Caicedo as well.”
Caicedo’s move to Arsenal appears unlikely after the failed pursuit in the winter, with Football Insider reporting that the Ecuadorian is aware Arsenal may not return for him. Whatever happens, we’ll have to wait and see, but Savic at Arsenal could be big. Arteta admires him, and his attempt to sign him last summer shows that Arsenal has plans for him.

Milinkovic-Savic would be better because it would be either so cheap or free , but we need a striker cmon guys, it’s not taken serious enough that we need a real class striker to play with Jesus or to be ready to cover, or use martinelli upfront instead of Eddie ,yeah he’s done OK but he’s not what will win us the league so make some changes in the team as striker now because the windows shut so it’s gonni have to be a winger etc and swap martinelli and saka .
Yes but I we can get both of them it will be great thanks
Exactly @Gunnermark, Nketiah isn’t going to get us anywhere, we need a workaholic in front of the midfield, one like Gabriel jesus,
Milinkovic-Savic would be a superb signing compared to Caicedo, imagine a midfield of Savic-Partey- Xhaka/Smith-rowe/Odegaard/Trossard fueling an attacking trio of Saka-Jesus-Martineli .
Although his age profile (27) may not fit into Arteta’s future plans, in terms of quality and physicality he certainly fits the bill and would cost substantially less than Caecido or Rice.Having watched Onana in the Liverpool derby last night, I am having second thoughts as to his credentials.That said,every player has a bad day at the office ,and to be fair to him, having watched him on three occasions, yesterday was the only time he has disappointed me.My only concern regarding the acquisition of Savic would be the impact on Xhaka who, let’s say,has an understandable dislike for most things Serbian with his background in Kosovo?
