Arsenal and Chelsea Eyeing on Barcelona Midfielder Gai Assulin

Arsenal has now set their target on Barcelona’s young midfielder Gai Assulin. The Israel international has also attracted the attention of Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti.



The advantage is that Assulin has now been a free agent. So, he can move to any club according to his wish, without seeking Barcelona’s consent.

Signing young talents from Barcelona is nothing new to Arsenal. The North London club signed current captain Cesc Fabregas and Fran Merida from the Catalan side in the past. Over the years, Cesc Fabregas has developed into one of today’s best playmakers in the world.



Assulin did not get enough first team football last season. As a result, there are many reasons for him to consider the Arsenal and Chelsea interests. Considering Wenger’s reputation in nurturing young talents, Assulin could be tempted to move to the North London club.



Chelsea, however, is trying to bring in some young players in its bid to strengthen the squad for the next season. The Blues have many experienced players, but it lacks youthful exuberance. So, Ancelotti is looking to land some young talented players in the summer transfer window.
