Juventus legend Claudio Marchisio heaped praise on a midfielder who has been linked with a move to Arsenal.
The Gunners’ current focus is on the Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta‘s side are on top of the table right now, but Manchester City are just a point behind and the fact that they have a game in hand makes them the favourites.
Arsenal have won 14 and drawn one of their 16 Premier League games this calendar year. To see that they could still end up missing out on the title proves there is still a significant gap between themselves and City.
That makes this upcoming summer transfer window an important one, and Arsenal have been linked with plenty of top-quality players.
Marchisio has now delivered his verdict on one of them.
Claudio Marchisio makes interesting claim about Arsenal target Jamal Musiala
Jamal Musiala is one of the finest young talents in world football.
The German, who turned 21 just two months ago, is already one of Bayern Munich‘s best players, and he has a massive future ahead of him.
Musiala, however, will enter the final two years of his contract at the Allianz Arena this summer, and there is no agreement on a new deal, as things stand.
That has led to a lot of speculation about his future, and among other clubs, Arsenal are said to be interested in signing him.
Manchester City and Liverpool are also in the race for Musiala, but Bayern Munich will surely do everything they possibly can to extend his deal.
Claudio Marchisio, who knows a thing or two about being a great midfielder, has now delivered his verdict on Musiala.
The Juventus legend was asked to name the best U21 players in each position in the world right now, and in the inside forward role, he chose Musiala.
“On the other side, I’ll put Jamal Musiala. Just like Bellingham, we can no longer consider him a young man but he is 100 per cent a talent,” he told Goal.
What Musiala has said about Declan Rice should excite Arsenal fans
Arsenal are in a position now where have the ability to attract the best players in the world.
The Gunners were in a battle with Manchester City to sign Declan Rice last summer and just when everyone thought the Englishman would go to the Etihad, Mikel Arteta’s side won the race.
Pep Guardiola admitted himself that Rice chose Arsenal over him and Manchester City.
So, you just can’t rule out Arsenal signing Musiala if they get that opportunity, and the German has already claimed that he would love to have Rice on his side.
After Bayern Munich missed out on signing Rice last summer, Musiala said: “We would have been happy if he had come to us.
“Declan is a great player. I’ve known him since he was very young before he went to West Ham. We played together in the park.
“I think I was 11-12 at the time. We grew up in the same area. He’s a great player.”
