Arsenal are looking to strengthen the midfield in the summer and have identified Enzo Fernandez as a target.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Chelsea midfielder is facing an uncertain future at the club because of the instability at Stamford Bridge. He wants to compete at the highest level, and Chelsea might not be able to provide him with that platform right now.<\/p>\n

Enzo Fernandez to Arsenal?<\/h2>\n

Arsenal are close to winning the Premier League title, and they have reached the final of the UEFA Champions League. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal are monitoring his situation, and they could look to make a move for him in the summer.<\/p>\n

The World Cup winner is also a target for Barcelona and Manchester City. He has a long-term contract with Chelsea until 2032, and the Blues have no intention of letting him leave. Any club hoping to sign him will have to pay a premium.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is willing to break the Bank for him. It is fair to assume they will have to break their transfer to get the deal done. Chelsea paid around \u00a3107 million to sign the player, and they will look to recoup most of that and make a profit.<\/p>\n

Fernandez would be an excellent signing<\/h2>\n

Fernandez has been a reliable performer in the Premier League with Chelsea, and he has the quality to transform Arsenal. They need more creativity and control in the middle of the park, and the South American would be ideal. He will add goals and vision from the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

Fernandez has 19 goal contributions<\/span> in all competitions. He is entering the peak years of his career, and he could improve further with coaching and experience.<\/p>\n
