As mysterious as the forward Arsenal we are rumoured to be set to sign was, we received a hint this weekend about who it could be, and I’m here to explain why it makes sense. Arsenal is as per reports (which have been picked up by Football Transfers) interested in Brighton’s dynamic winger Simon Adingra.
Probably like you, the links to the Ivory Coast international caught me off guard, but after looking at what the youngster has to offer, I realised he could be just what the Arsenal attack is looking for.
Simon Adingra is only 22 years old, versatile (can play left or right wing), ambipedal (can use both feet equally well), an AFCON winner (with Ivory Coast), and has Premier League experience. He’s also quick, making him an excellent transition threat. He has strong 1 v 1 fundamentals and poses a threat in both inside and outside channels.
Like Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori, the Brighton man is exactly what Arsenal needs. Once he joins, he’ll share responsibilities with our wingers while also providing goals for the team.
Given the wonderful business we’ve done with Brighton, signing Ben White and Leandro Trossard from them, and they coming to be a hit at the Emirates Stadium, I don’t worry if he’ll be a hit; my concern is how much they’d be ready to let him go for.
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
