Arsenal Are Big Admirers Of This Newcastle United Defender: Should Arteta Get Him On Board?

Arsenal Are Big Admirers Of This Newcastle United Defender: Should Arteta Get Him On Board? In a recent report , journalist Graeme Bailey stated that Arsenal are big admirers of Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento this summer. It has been mentioned that the Gunners would have to compete with Manchester City in the race to sign the English full-back, but are unwilling to meet the Tyneside club’s asking price for him in this transfer window. Livramento’s Impressive Form In English Football Livramento put in a series of solid displays on the right side of Newcastle United’s defence in the previous campaign. The 23-year-old picked up one assist in 26 matches for the Magpies last season in all competitions. The English talent is currently among the most talented full-backs in the Premier League. Therefore, it is no surprise that Arsenal are in the mix to secure his services in this summer transfer period. His current contract at St. James’ Park will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for the Gunners to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Livramento is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and can create the odd chance for his teammates from the wide areas. The English talent is a strong runner with the ball and usually generates some power with his shot attempts. Livramento is primarily a right-back but can also serve as a left-back or as a right-sided wide player if needed. He has got some experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal. We can expect Livramento to add more quality and depth to Mikel Arteta’s defence. He has what it takes to challenge for regular first-team football at the Emirates Stadium next season. At 23, Livramento has got a bright future ahead of him. Hence, Arsenal would be wise to go all out to get him on board before the end of this summer transfer window. He might even help the Gunners compete for some major honours over the next few years.
