Arsenal Transfer Targets: 4 Players Who Could Bolster the Gunners Squad This Summer

#4 Michael Keane

Montenegro v England - UEFA EURO 2020 Qualifier

A recent Arsenal transfer link that has appeared fairly prominently by the English media of late is Everton centre-back, Michael Keane. Keane initially impressed with Burnley, where he enjoyed a very solid 3-season run.

Having joined Everton at the start of last season for 25 million, he did somewhat disappoint in his first year. Admittedly, his performances have improved significantly in 2018-19 and Everton’s defence appears to be in much better shape.

Having just turned 26, the England international appears set to move to a bigger club either this Summer or next. Given the incumbent options at Arsenal, I think an in-form Michael Keane is an upgrade.

While the price tag won’t be cheap, Keane is at an age where Arsenal could get a solid 7-8 seasons out of him. I think he still has room to improve and could find himself as one of the better Premier League defenders in the coming years.
