They will pay £10million up front for the Italian international with a further £2million in add-ons. With Mohamed Elneny injured for a period of time as well as an injury scare surrounding Thomas Partey after he was substituted halfway through the FA Cup clash with Manchester City, the need for signings was clear.
Their initial target was Brighton midfielder, Moises Caicedo, but the Seagulls have made it very clear that the player isn’t for sale at any price now.
Instead Arsenal may now have to wait until the summer before they can make another move for the Ecuadorian after seeing two bids rejected, including a second bid of about €70 million.
“We need some more cover in midfield ideally if we can, but in this market it is pretty complicated to do that,” Arteta said recently.

Several names have been mentioned, but it seems like the Magpies have now decided on Chelsea midfielder, Connor Gallagher to strengthen their midfield as they look to ride their current form and clinch a top four placing at the end of the season.
