Arsenal could swap one of their players for Roma attacker, Justin Kluivert. The 21-year-old is the son of legendary Dutch striker Patrick Kluivert, and he moved to the club from Ajax two years ago.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Armenian winger Henrikh Mkhitaryan is interested in signing permanently with Roma, which could see Kluivert go in the other direction. Agent Mino Raiola represents both players and he reportedly feels that he could make a deal happen which could see a swap deal.
Kluivert moved to Roma in 2018 from Ajax for a fee of €18.75 million, and has gone on to play 62 games for the club, scoring 9 goals and making 10 assists. The Dutch winger’s current deal with the club expires only in 2023.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move to Arsenal from Manchester United hasn’t quite worked out, and the winger is currently on loan at AS Roma, joining the Italian club at the start of the 2019-20 season. The Armenian may not have a future at the club, which is why the move to bring Justin Kluivert to the club could be a smart move.
The 21-year-old winger is a promising talent, whose direct running and fearlessness in attack could make him a good fit in a young Arsenal team. Manager Mikel Arteta needs to build a new team featuring young stars who can collectively hit their prime in the next few seasons. The 21-year-old Kluivert could be one of those players.
The Dutchman primarily plays as a left-sided winger, while he is also capable of playing on the right. The two-footed player has flair, quick-thinking, and good close control which helps him get past defenders. Kluivert has loads of confidence in his own ability to take on defenders and beat them. Kluivert could be a decent signing at Arsenal, one that could potentially replace captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the team, if the Gabon international leaves the club.
The Dutchman is also capable of playing on the right side of attack, and he could be a backup option to Nicolas Pepe on the right side. Kluivert would add depth to the Arsenal squad, and also be a future first teamer for the Gunners.
