Arsenal set to make £18m move for Ever Banega
Premier League club Arsenal are preparing to trigger the £18m release clause of Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega, according to a report on Talksport.
The midfielder has worked under Arsenal boss Unai Emery twice in his career, first whilst at Valencia and then at Sevilla.
Emery rates the Argentina international very highly and has identified him as a potential target as he looks to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.
Banega has a £18m release clause in his contract and the Gunners are seriously considering about triggering that clause.
The Gunners were heavily linked with a move for Banega during the summer but a move never materialised, however, it seems that it is a lot more likely that it will happen this time around.
Banega played a crucial role for Emery in Sevilla’s Europa League triumphs during his time as their manager and he could play a similar role if he signs for the north London club.
