Mikel Arteta is reportedly prioritising the signing of a high-potential young defender to bolster the Arsenal backline this summer. The Gunners have apparently identified two Spanish talents to ensure long-term stability at the Emirates Stadium.
Como have reportedly identified their next transfer target from the Real Madrid youth academy, aiming to sign highly-rated winger Daniel Yanez. Manager Cesc Fabregas is keen to continue his successful strategy of recruiting from La Fabrica, hoping to secure the teenager's signature following the impressive transitions of fellow prospects Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon into Serie A.
Former Italy defender Marco Materazzi believes Cesc Fabregas would consider a move to Manchester United despite his Arsenal and Chelsea ties, while also backing Michael Carrick to lead the Red Devils to future success. Fabregas is currently the manager of Como and overseen tremendous project with the Italian club.
Cesc Fabregas has been told why his career path could lead back to Chelsea or Barcelona, with the World Cup winner doing a “remarkable” job as manager of Como. The former Spain international stepped into the dugout after hanging up his boots in Italy. He is now chasing down Champions League qualification, with Massimo Ambrosini telling GOAL why a return to familiar surroundings could be agreed at some stage.
Nico Paz has emerged as one of the standout performers in Serie A this season, sparking a major tug-of-war for his future. While Real Madrid hold a significantly discounted buy-back clause, the hierarchy at Como believe they have the perfect environment to convince the playmaker to reject a return to the Santiago Bernabeu.
