Former Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers has advocated for the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka to bolster the Gunners’ midfield and provide a transformative presence akin to Manchester City’s Rodri. Jeffers suggests that Goretzka’s addition could unleash the full attacking potential of Declan Rice by offering a robust defensive shield behind him.
In an exclusive interview with Ladbrokes Fanzone, Jeffers emphasized the need for Arsenal to diversify their midfield options. He highlighted Goretzka’s imposing presence and dynamic playing style as qualities that could significantly enhance the team’s performance. Drawing parallels with Rodri’s impact at Manchester City, Jeffers emphasized the importance of physicality in the midfield, a trait exemplified by players like Goretzka.
While Arsenal has been linked with various midfield targets in recent times, including Martin Zubimendi, Douglas Luiz, and Amadou Onana, Goretzka emerges as a compelling option. His potential arrival could reshape Arsenal’s midfield dynamics, providing Rice with more freedom to contribute offensively, akin to the role played by Martin Odegaard.
With Rodri’s influence at Manchester City serving as a benchmark, acquiring a player of Goretzka’s caliber could propel Arsenal to new heights, offering them a pathway to elevate their performance and competitiveness.
