Arsenal Targets Real Madrid's Ferland Mendy Amidst Squad Overhaul Plans

Arsenal is reportedly eyeing a move for Real Madrid’s Ferland Mendy who showcased impressive performance against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League. With Mikel Arteta poised to oversee squad changes including potential departures of players like Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson and Thomas Partey, Arsenal seeks to bolster their ranks with top talent.

Mendy whose contract with Madrid runs until 2025 is attracting interest from several European clubs including Arsenal, amid uncertainties over his contract renewal. While Mendy could address Arsenal left-back issues, the club’s immediate priorities lie in securing a striker and midfielder. Despite having options like Jurrien Timber, Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasi, Arsenal may consider Mendy later in the transfer window after addressing more pressing needs.
