Arsenal fans say they would love to see Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega at The Emirates next season.
Banega, 30, worked with new Arsenal boss Unai Emery at Sevilla between 2014-2016, and was a key member of the Spaniard’s squad that won back-to-back Europa League titles in that time.
The Argentine left Spain in 2016 for Inter Milan, where spent only one season before returning to Sevilla, where has impressed once again.
Banega made 50 appearances in all competitions for the Spanish outfit last term, scoring four goals, and has continued his dazzling form at this summer’s World Cup – where his performances helped Argentina qualify for the last-16.
And Estadio Deportivo now report Banega could be on his way to Arsenal for a re-union with his former boss.
Unai Emery is looking to rebuild his midfield as he looks to improve on the Gunners sixth placed Premier League finish last season, and has identified the 30-year-old as one of his top targets.
Arsenal’s proposed move for Banega has been given further hope by Sevilla’s acquisition of Swansea City midfielder Roque Mesa, with the arrival of the Spaniard potentially paving there way for Banega to leave the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
Following the departure of both Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere, could Banega be the playmaker Arsenal need this summer? The fans think so …
Ever Banega has been class so far against Nigeria. He is completely bossing the midfield! #WorldCup #NGAARG #ARG #COYG #AFC

Banega for €20m will be a steal considering Matic went to ManUtd for €40m
