Real Sociedad Boss Sends New Message to Arsenal Over Transfer Target

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has sent a new message to Arsenal over their transfer target, Mikel Oyarzabal. The Gunners have been linked with the winger for several months, and Alguacil has now addressed the speculation surrounding his future.

Oyarzabal’s Future at Real Sociedad

Oyarzabal has been a key player for Real Sociedad since making his debut in 2015. He has scored 57 goals in 251 appearances for the club, and his performances have attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe.

Alguacil’s Message to Arsenal

Speaking to Spanish outlet AS, Alguacil addressed the speculation surrounding Oyarzabal’s future. He said: “Mikel is a very important player for us, he is our captain and we are very happy with him. We want him to continue with us, but we know that there are other clubs that are interested in him. We will see what happens in the future, but for now, we are very happy with him and we want him to continue with us.”

Arsenal‘s Interest in Oyarzabal

Arsenal have been linked with Oyarzabal for several months, with reports suggesting that the Gunners are willing to pay up to £30million for the winger. The 23-year-old has been identified as a potential replacement for Nicolas Pepe, who has struggled to make an impact at the Emirates Stadium since joining from Lille in 2019.

Oyarzabal’s Style of Play

Oyarzabal is known for his pace, skill, and versatility on the wing. He can play on either the left or right flank, and has also been used as a central attacking midfielder. His ability to create chances for his teammates and score goals himself would make him a valuable addition to Mikel Arteta‘s squad.

Conclusion

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has sent a new message to Arsenal over their transfer target, Mikel Oyarzabal. The Gunners have been linked with the winger for several months, and Alguacil’s comments suggest that the Spanish club are keen to keep their captain. However, with Arsenal willing to pay up to £30million for Oyarzabal, it remains to be seen whether Real Sociedad will be able to resist the Gunners’ interest.
