Arsenal’s interest in Sacha Boey
Sacha Boey, the talented right-back who currently plays for Galatasaray, has been attracting attention from clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, as we’ve reported.
Akşam reported in March that the 22-year-old is a priority target for the Gunners, with manager Mikel Arteta eager to sign him in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Competition from AC Milan
Italian club AC Milan is also keen on acquiring Boey’s services, as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb.
This has led to questions surrounding the possibility of the young defender moving to Serie A in the near future.
Boey, in an interview with Transfermarkt, viay TuttoMercatoWeb, expressed his appreciation for the interest, but clarified that it is not the deciding factor for his future.
Boey’s Premier League ambition
Despite the interest from AC Milan and positive feedback about Serie A from fellow defenders, Boey made it clear that his ultimate dream is to play in the Premier League.
Arsenal, being the most interested team, stands to benefit from this revelation.
The Frenchman believes that his aggressive playing style would fit well in the English league, but he also appreciates the opportunities for growth in the Bundesliga.
In his own words, Boey stated, “My dream remains the Premier League, like most players.
“It’s a league that fits well with my aggressive style of play. I like the Bundesliga too. There are fullbacks who push, play throw-ins, fight. I think I’ve grown defensively but I’m missing attacking numbers a bit.”
Sacha Boey has contributed two assists in 25 matches for Galatasaray this season.
