Arsenal’s midfield goal with a £ 55m release clause speaks to a possible trade

Arsenal’s transfer window in January promises to be interesting.

The window was opened on Saturday, meaning the club can take steps to strengthen Mikel Arteta’s squad after a shaky start to the season.

The Gunners are stranded in the lower half of the Premier League table and desperately need a proper creative outlet.

Mesut Ozil has been exiled from the team and it has taken them a bit to hit the back of the net with some regularity.

Given that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored just three Premier League goals this period, one feels that a number 10 is required to unlock the clinical touch of the Gabon international.

Sport Witness now carries a report from the Estadio Deportivo, who spoke with Sevilla’s offensive midfielder Joan Jordan.

The Sun reported on December 28 that the Gunners were willing to pay £ 32 million to remove the 26-year-old from the Spanish club.

Jordan is an action-packed midfielder, not necessarily a playmaker, who has provided just six assists in 67 appearances for the club.

However, it seems that Arsenal are interested, but Jordan has now poured some cold water on it, insisting that he is not considering the possibility of a deal.

He said: “In the end, it’s just things that come out, like so many things that were said, the rumors, when I was at Eibar.

“I have always been very clear about the present; the future does not feed me; it takes away from me and does not give me the energy I need.

“My mind is genuinely here in Seville and in the derby. I’m in a super ambitious club, and I have nothing more to say because I am really super comfortable here, like when I arrived.

“Things can work out, but I tell you what I think today and people who know me can back me up, it’s not that I’m avoiding the question, just really, my mind is on the derby.

Harry Sherlock of GIVEMESPORT says …

Yes, this is not the player Arsenal need.

And it seems like Jordan isn’t really interested in the move.

Sevilla, after all, is fifth in the league table and is currently ahead of Barcelona as they seek to seal qualification for the European competition.

He only moved into the club in 2019 and also has a 55 million pound release clause, according to the Sun report mentioned above.

You can’t imagine Sevilla willing to profit anytime soon and, really, that doesn’t feel like the worst for Arsenal.
