I don't understand Arteta's plan for next season
Contrary to opinions, Arteta plans for Arsenal next season is easy.
1. Bin Partey and Xhaka for good amount of money.
2. get Rice to play the Deep lying playmaker role.
3. set up a jorginho rice odegaard midfield, or a midfield diamond of jorgingo rice harverts and odegaard or a Rice odegaard and harverts midfield. either will cook massively.
The big question is that, can Arsenal sign Rice from Westham? Their owner is not one that you can negotiate with easily.
On the surface level, it may seem unusual that Arsenal could allow Partey to leave considering his importance to their plans in recent years. But this can only happen if they’re sure of bringing in Declan Rice and another central midfielder for the departing Granit Xhaka. The only problem is that they’re playing in many competitions this season, they need a good depth to see them through these many games. Losing their very important midfielders in one window is something I don’t know how they’ll cope with. The new signings won’t find it easy to lace those shoes left for them next season.
