BREAKING NEWS 🔥 Arsenal has made a proposal to this Atlanta ball machine -Charles Watts tips Arsenal to sign him as soon as possible – Edu gives Arteta green light to sign the youngestar😱😱

Arsenal may explore a move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson next year, according to reputable journalist Charles Watts. The Gunners have enjoyed a strong start to the Premier League season, sitting just one point behind leaders Liverpool after seven games. Thomas Partey has been a mainstay in the No. 6 role, with Jorginho providing reliable cover when needed.

However, with both Partey and Jorginho’s contracts expiring at the end of the season, Arsenal will likely consider reinforcing their midfield. Speaking to *Caught Offside*, Watts mentioned that Ederson could be a potential target. While he is uncertain if Arsenal are actively pursuing the Brazilian international, he noted that Ederson is a “very accomplished player” and that his growing experience with Brazil’s national team could boost his chances of a move to North London.

Watts stated, “Arsenal are looking at midfield options for the summer, with the futures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey in doubt. I’m sure Ederson’s name has come up, given his current form. But I can’t say for certain whether he’s a serious target yet. It’s still too early. Ederson is a very accomplished player, as we’ve seen with Atalanta, and he’s now getting some exposure with Brazil. Whether that will convince Arsenal to enter the race for him, we’ll have to wait and see.”

Partey has been a regular starter for Arsenal in both the Premier League and Europe this season. His position has been secure partly due to the injury suffered by summer signing Mikel Merino, who fractured his shoulder in his first training session after a challenge from Gabriel Magalhães. Merino recently made his Arsenal debut in the Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain, and if Partey struggles with his fitness—a recurring issue for the Ghanaian—he could find himself displaced by Merino as the season progresses.

In the long run, Arsenal will likely target a younger midfielder, and Ederson seems to be a strong candidate. The Brazilian put in an impressive display against the Gunners in their recent Champions League encounter, despite receiving an early booking. He won eight duels, drew four fouls, and completed two take-ons, even winning a penalty for Atalanta after being fouled by Partey. While Atalanta couldn’t capitalize on the spot-kick thanks to David Raya’s heroics, Ederson showcased his ability to compete against one of England’s top sides.

Atalanta turned down a £42 million bid from Manchester United for Ederson over the summer, and with the 25-year-old entering the peak of his career, they could demand an even higher fee in future negotiations.
