According to the latest news from ESPN, English Premier League powerhouse Arsenal Football Club is keeping a close eye on Argentine national Olympic team midfielder star Ezequiel Fernandez. The talented young player has shown remarkable strength and potential in the current Olympic Games, attracting the attention of several European giants, Arsenal being one of them.
Fernandez is currently playing for Argentina's national Olympic team at the Olympics, but according to reports, he will likely not opt to return to his parent club Boca Juniors after the tournament. The midfielder has expressed a strong desire to move on to European football and Boca Juniors face a huge challenge in their efforts to retain him. Previously, the Saudi Arabia giants Hubayr Qudsia had put forward an offer worth 17 million euros to Boca Juniors with the intention of recruiting Fernandes, but the offer did not meet the psychological expectations of Boca Juniors, and at the same time, the player himself also holds a certain degree of openness to go to Saudi Arabia to play football.
However, the addition of Arsenal has certainly added a new variable to this transfer drama. It is reported that Arsenal have shown strong interest in Fernandes and are interested in bringing him into the team this summer. Although no formal offer has been sent yet, Arsenal's interest and pursuit has certainly provided Fernandes with more options.
Arsenal are not the only club interested in Fernandez. Prior to that, several European giants such as Atletico Madrid, Brighton, Sevilla, Benfica, Real Betis, Girona, AC Milan and Porto were rumored to be interested in a transfer with him. This fully proves that Fernandez is hot and attractive in the transfer market.
