Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified Dani Olmo as a top summer target to reinforce the midfield following the Premier League title win. The 28-year-old Spain international contributed 18 goal involvements for Barcelona last season and is seen as a versatile option capable of playing across the attacking third. Barcelona are under financial pressure and are prepared to listen to offers at around 60 million euros.
No formal bid has yet been submitted and Olmo has not been approached directly. Arsenal face competition from Manchester City, who have also been linked with the player throughout the spring. The move is complicated by the fact that Barcelona have just signed Anthony Gordon and may be reluctant to lose another key creative player in the same window, though the financial incentive could prove decisive.
