Arsenal could be in the running for Chelsea target Yunus Musah

Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has speculated that Mikel Arteta’s side could go toe-to-toe with Chelsea for the services of Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah.

On the In Soccer We Trust podcast, Romano claimed that Chelsea could try for Musah this summer after missing out in January, adding that Arteta is also an admirer.

He said:

“I can reveal to you that in January Chelsea were really serious for Musah. They wanted Musah, they really wanted Musah, but Valencia decided to keep the player because they wanted to avoid relegation, so it was really important to keep Musah. But then they promised him the possibility to leave the club in the summer.

“I would keep Chelsea again there because they've been following him and they really rate him highly, so keep an eye on Chelsea again.”

On the Emirates outfit’s potential interest in him, Romano added:

“Of course, he started in the Arsenal academy. And he’s a player that’s really appreciated there.

“At the moment, it’s not something concrete or something advanced, but that kind of player could be interesting.”

Musah was at Arsenal’s academy between 2012 and 2019 before joining Valencia B as a free agent. He has since emerged as an important first-teamer, clocking 108 appearances for Valencia’s senior team over the last three seasons.
