Arsenal Seriously Looking At In-Demand Free Agent

Arsenal Seriously Looking At In-Demand Free Agent

Wenger could make two very important moves this summer as Manchester City’s James Milner makes the transfer wanted-list next to Andre Ayew. According to The Guardian, the 29 year old who is out of contract in June, is very likely to leave the Citizens after refusing a new deal which was offered to him a year back. Apparently he wanted to wait and see if he is really given a chance and if Pellegrini was willing to offer him a spot in the starting eleven. Milner is rumored to have refused £160,000 just to be sure he does not end up tied up to the club without any real chance of getting more time on the pitch.

With money not being a problem, his move to Arsenal does sound plausible. Even though Roma are also keen on securing his signature, it is very improbable to see the midfielder leave the Premier League. He has spent his entire career in the UK and London does seem like a very likely destination when compared to Italy. Milner who has played over 200 games for City could really give Arsenal that extra edge in terms of keeping their adversaries under pressure. The England international is a resilient player who is fast and always focused. He has determination and feisty attitude could help the team a lot. His experience is also priceless especially if the Gunners plan on bringing home the Premier League trophy. One other important thing about him is the fact that he is not a man to get injured very often. He is tough and could easily perform every other day for an entire season. For many fans there is really no reason why Arsenal should not seriously try sign this excellent player but they will have to move fast as Liverpool are reportedly very interested and Man City themselves are keen on retaining the player too.
