Arsenal want to buy Kounde

Arsenal are trying to convince Kounde.

According to Mundo Deportivo , this move comes as the North London team looks to strengthen their defence, aiming to compete for the Premier League title next season. Kounde is highly regarded by coach Mikel Arteta for his versatility, as he can play both centre-back and right-back.

The French international joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2022. Here, he quickly asserted his value thanks to his solid defensive ability, versatility in playing style and impressive ball distribution skills.

Although he started out as a centre-back, Kounde has shown his versatility by playing well at right-back at Barca. Arsenal under Mikel Arteta have always been keen on a versatile defender like Kounde, who can play in multiple positions across the defence.

The move for Kounde shows Arsenal are keen to continue to improve their defence, which has been performing very well for many years. The 26-year-old defender's arrival could bring depth to Arsenal's defence, while also providing healthy competition to Timber, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.

Arsenal are expected to make a formal offer in the summer transfer window. However, the deal will not be easy. Barcelona, ​​despite their financial constraints, value Kounde at a high price (no less than £60m), and the player himself has not expressed any intention of leaving the Camp Nou. In addition, interest from other European clubs could complicate the negotiations.
