Report: Arsenal submit bid for 22-year-old ‘revelation’ backed to become ‘leading’ star; he wants N5 move
There is a captivating rumor circulating about Arsenal and French defender Sacha Boey.
For several months, there have been rumors connecting the Gunners with the talented player from Galatasaray.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it appears that Arsenal has taken the initial steps in pursuing this deal.
According to Turkiye Gazetesi, as reported by Sport Witness, Arsenal has made a bid for Boey.
The Turkish source states that Arsenal has intervened in the transfer and is determined to secure the player.
The Gunners’ offer is said to be around €20 million (£17.2 million), although Galatasaray considers it insufficient. However, they are open to negotiations to finalize the deal.
Arsenal is eager to seize this opportunity and is expected to expedite the process to complete the transfer.
Brighton is also reportedly interested in Boey, adding to the competition for his signature.
Following the previous season, Arsenal has recognized the need to strengthen their right-back position.
Although Ben White performed well, injuries to Takehiro Tomiyasu and Cedric Soares’ loan departure left them lacking options.
To avoid a similar situation and compete for the Premier League title and cups, Arsenal needs to reinforce their squad.
Considering these factors, Boey seems like an excellent choice for the Gunners. He is a talented and young player who wouldn’t require a significant financial investment.
According to Whoscored, Boey has been outstanding for Galatasaray this season, demonstrating his readiness for the next level in his career.
Given his skill set, his potential addition to the Emirates this summer could prove to be a smart move.
Bacary Sagna, a beloved figure among Arsenal fans, has expressed his endorsement of Boey, stating that he would be an excellent fit for the Gunners.
Sagna, who is considered a cult hero at Arsenal, has voiced his belief that Boey possesses the qualities and attributes that would make him an ideal addition to the team.
“One player I really like is Sacha Boey, the right-back at Galatasaray,” he said earlier this year. “I think he would fit Arsenal perfectly.
“As a right-back myself, I have to say I think he is amazing, I’m sure he is in the minds of many clubs to sign.”
Meanwhile, journalist Jonathan Johnson has backed Boey to “potentially develop into being one of the leading players in that position for France in the years to come.”
There are reports suggesting that Boey has a strong desire to join Arsenal, even over other potential destinations such as AC Milan.
According to these reports, Boey has expressed a preference for a move to Arsenal, indicating his keenness to play for the club rather than considering offers from other teams, including AC Milan.
