Arsenal willing to buy Mert Muldur

The defense remains the key area for Arsenal to address in the next couple of transfer windows.

The latest reports in England suggest that Arsena arel willing to buy Sassuolo right-back Mert Muldur.

The 22-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

The Turkey international joined Sassuolo from Rapid Wien for a fee in the region of 4.7 million euros in August 2019. The 22-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

The right-back has featured in 29 matches last term, providing one assist in all competitions.

The 22-year-old is considered to be one of the best right-backs in Turkey. As a member of Turkey national football team, Muldur won 10 caps.

His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta wants to sign a new right-back and Muldur is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He has always been a manager who keeps his eyes on the most talented young players across the globe.

The Gunners are desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.

Muldur has been a good servant for Sassuolo, and is a right-back who places himself in the right positions in defensive situations.

According to the report, “Arsenal are moving for Sassuolo ace Mert Muldur. The Athletic reports Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has been keeping a close watch on Muldur following an impressive Serie A campaign. The north Londoners are likely to lose Bellerin in the summer as the right-back is looking for a new challenge. The Spain international has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, who are looking for someone to fill in for Paris Saint Germain-bound Achraf Hakimi. Therefore, if the 26-year-old puts an end to his eight-year stint at the Emirates then Arsenal will need a replacement. And Muldur appears to be among Arteta’s top choices to reinforce his full-back options.”

Undoubtedly he would be a fantastic recruit for Arsenal.

Mert Muldur has all the skillset required to be a success story at Arsenal. Therefore, it makes sense for Arteta to step up his attempts to bring the Turkey right-back to Premier League side.
