Arsenal is reportedly interested in signing 19-year-old Catalan youngster, Aleix Garrido from Barcelona. The Gunners are reportedly keeping a close eye on the highly-rated teenager, who gave six assists in six UEFA Youth League games. The youngster also made 11 appearances in Barca Atletic, the reserve team of Barcelona, after kicking off the 2022/23 season with the U19s.
Having played a significant part in the Catalan club’s youth teams, Garrido is seen as one of the brightest prospects in Spanish football and it is no surprise that Arsenal is keeping tabs on his progress. With Mikel Arteta at the helm, the Gunners are looking to strengthen their squad with young and talented players who can help them win trophies in the short and long term.
Arteta has earned the support of the Arsenal faithful, thanks to the brand of football he has brought to the Emirates. The Spaniard has been able to combine free-flowing, attacking football with a dogged determination to win matches. Arsenal’s comeback victory over Bournemouth towards the end of last season is a testament to Arteta’s ability to inspire his players to fight until the end.
Although Arsenal was not able to win the Premier League title in the 2022/23 season, Arteta remains committed to building a squad that can compete effectively in the upcoming campaign. The Gunners’ pursuit of Garrido is a sign of their eagerness to build a team that can challenge for the Premier League title and bring glory back to North London.
Whether Arsenal decides to roll the dice with the young Catalan remains to be seen. However, with Arteta at the helm, the Gunners can be assured that the future of the club is in good hands. As they continue their pursuit of Garrido, Arsenal will be hoping to sign a player who can bring his exciting brand of football to the Emirates. Only time will tell if Garrido is the missing piece in Arsenal’s quest to win back the Premier League title.
