A number of reports are claiming that Arsenal are closely monitoring Feyenoord’s attacking midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
The 20-year-old, who is primarily a central playmaker, can also be utilized on either wing. Wijnaldum possesses incredible pace, skill, great ball control, and is regarded as a potent threat in the final third for the Dutch outfit.
The Dutchman has so far made 29 appearances for Feyenoord this season whilst managing to bag 8 goals and an assist.
In my opinion, the youngster would be a good addition to our squad, purely for the fact that he would add more attacking depth to our midfield. Wijnaldum may not be the most experienced player out there that the fans particularly want, but the youngster’s versatility would certainly provide us with more depth and options.
I think the signing of the Dutchman this summer is very realistic, especially with the two clubs relationship with each other.
The Eredivisie side is known to produce some great stars and it would be very interesting to see (if we sign him this summer of course) the midfielder follow in the footsteps of Robin van Persie, or better yet, be as good as the legendary Thierry Henry.
Georginio Wijnaldum is believed to be priced at approximately £5-8 million, and with only a year left on his current contract, Feyenoord may look to offer the youngster to Arsenal this summer.
