Arsenal Face Competition For £17m-Rated Spanish Winger

Arsenal will face stiff competition from German giants Borussia Dortmund for the signature of Sevilla winger Jesus Navas this summer, according to talkSPORT.

With the summer transfer window set to re-open, there is plenty of gossip doing the rounds in the newspapers so we’ll keep you up-to-date with the latest transfer rumours. Today, Borussia Dortmund are linked with Arsenal target Jesus Navas.

Arsenal will face stiff competition from German giants Borussia Dortmund for the signature of Sevilla winger Jesus Navas this summer, according to talkSPORT.

Dortmund will lose star man Mario Gotze at the end of the season when the attacker joins rivals Bayern Munich and the report suggests the Champions League finalists are weighing-up potential replacements, with Navas appearing to have caught the eye of boss Jurgen Klopp.

talkSPORT claims Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the 27-year-old’s and Arsene Wenger is understood to have monitored him closely over the last couple of seasons, but it remains to be seen whether the boss will follow up his interest with a firm offer this summer.

If he does, it looks like we’ll have to fend off interest from Dortmund for the player and while Sevilla are understood to be keen on keeping hold of him, talkSPORT suggest the £17m-rated ace has recently threw his future into doubt after admitting he doesn’t know where he’ll be playing next year.

Navas has been with Sevilla his entire professional career and has racked up nearly 400 appearances for the club so far. He’s known for his pace and dribbling ability and has already earned 23 caps for Spain – which is no mean feat considering the attacking talent he’s up against – so could be a useful addition to the squad.

However, I’m not convinced he’s the type of player the boss will go for this summer. A striker, defensive midfielder, goalkeeper and utility defender should all be priorities over another small, tricky attacker in my opinion, but we’ll have to see what the boss does in the summer. He may have other ideas!
