Arsenal have reportedly thrown their hat into the ring for Atalanta’s sought-after midfielder Éderson.

The Gunners join Premier League rivals Chelsea and Newcastle in the race for the Brazilian star, who could command a transfer fee upwards of €60m.

Arsenal have reportedly entered the fray for Atalanta‘s highly-rated midfielder Éderson, according to Brazilian journalist Thiago Fernandes. The Gunners face stiff competition from Chelsea and Newcastle United in securing the 24-year-old’s signature.

With a price tag set between €60m and €70m, Atalanta appear ready to part ways with their star midfielder with bids expected to arrive this summer.

Éderson’s dynamic style could be the missing piece for Arsenal‘s midfield. His ability to break up play, drive forward with the ball, and create chances would add another dimension to the Gunners’ attack. At 24 years old, and with a Transfermarkt valuation of €30m, he presents a significant investment, but one with the potential for high returns.

Arsenal‘s interest in Éderson isn’t new. His consistent performances in Serie A have caught the eye of Premier League scouts for some time, and his rise to prominence makes this move a real possibility.
