Arsenal should rival United and Spurs in Olmo pursuit

Arsenal should rival United and Spurs in Olmo pursuit

Dinamo Zagreb’s Dani Olmo is being linked with moves to both Manchester United and Tottenham, but is he a player that Arsenal need to have on their radar?

As cited on TEAMtalk, both Man United and Tottenham are interested in signing the player after a great first half of the season in Croatia.

A former Barcelona youngster, Olmo has caught the eye this season and over the summer with the Spanish U21s.

With six goals to his name already, he looks poised for a big European move soon.

The Gunners have been tentatively linked with a move to sign Olmo in the past and he’s a player they should look to reconsider.

It’s easy to see why some of the big clubs are looking at the player. He was one of Spain’s most important creative players during their U21 European championship win over the summer and he has hit the ground running domestically this season too.

Six goals and six assists in 17 appearances is an impressive return for the player, who has also been given a stunning 8.00 rating by WhoScored from his four Champions League games this season.

Able to play out wide or centrally, Olmo could be a long-term signing that Arsenal look to build their attack around, especially when you consider the concerns over Mesut Ozil’s immediate future at the Emirates.

Known as the ‘one that got away’ from Barcelona, he is proving that he made the right decision to leave the Spanish giants at a young age, with a big move now surely on the horizon.
