After the signing of Frenkie De Jong by Barcelona, Matthijs de Ligt is currently the hottest property in Europe. Ajax manager has already praised him by saying he is going to be the best centre back in two years.

On 17 December 2018, de Ligt won the Golden Boy award. De Ligt became the first defender to win the award. Clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus are all interested in the 19-year-old Dutchman and if the Gunners want to land him in the summer they are going to have a hard bargain.

While the deal will obviously cost them nearly 90 million Euros, there are many other factors that will play an important role in de Ligt's decision of choosing a new club, for eg: wages, game time and most importantly UEFA Champions League football. Therefore, the Gunners have to make sure that they qualify for the UCL and hope that Raul Sanllehi does the job and lands De Ligt to the Emirates.
