Earlier, British media reported that Arsenal were close to a German international during the Euros, but the player's identity has been kept under wraps to avoid influencing the German game. Arsenal's reported acquisition is Bayern Munich striker Leceny, who have worked with Adidas-Manchester City and are expected to stay ahead of the game this time around.
Arsenal have been looking to bring in a right wing to share the important task of Bucayosaka and Lileksini has become their target. Bayern are overcrowded at the wing position after the signing of Michael Ollis. Lilezzini has become a target for cash. A €40 million transfer fee deal is expected. The best part is that Lilezzini played for Manchester City eight years ago. Adi Da is an assistant coach at City and focuses on teaching Lilezini, Staanen and other wingers.
Lilezini has expressed his admiration for Adidas: "I have nothing but positive things to say about Adidas. From the beginning of our partnership, he has constantly improved my soccer, showing me what I do well and what I don't. He and his brother Dio have achieved what they have today. Adidayi's tutor Arsenal is as good as any, with a clear style and tactics, and a good coach."
