Lee Kang-in's name is no longer mentioned in Arsenal's transfer market plan.
The British Telegraph reported on the 19th (Korea time) 'Arnall plans to provide new sports director Andrea Bertha with the funds needed to strengthen coach Mikel Arteta's squad in at least four positions this summer. Arsenal's intention to sign a new striker is well known, but they also hope to strengthen their goalkeeper and midfielder, as well as a new winger and potentially a defender, according to the report.
The Telegraph also clarified which players Arsenal would like to sign across each position. Lee Kang-in's name was not mentioned at all. Lee Kang-in is a player who can perform best in offensive central midfielders and right wingers.
But the midfielder Arsenal want to strengthen this summer has been a player who can coordinate the game at the back. The target has already been confirmed. Arsenal are looking to sign Real Sociedad's Martin Subimendi and it is understood the deal is only set to be announced. Arsenal are also considering recruiting additional midfielders when defensive midfielder Thomas Partey leaves, but this is also unlikely to be an aggressive style player.
Arsenal also wants a winger, but they are looking for a straight and fast player, not a playmaker-type winger like Lee Kang-in. The Telegraph explained 'Asnall has spent longer trying to find another fast winger who can compete on the side like Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli with a wide opposing defence.
Arsenal have not given up on signing Nico Williams, but Williams is a huge financial burden, so the target could change depending on the situation. Brighton's João Pedro is also mentioned as a player Arsenal are interested in. If Arsenal continues to want a fast-paced and breakthrough player, it is not expected to target Lee Kang-in.
Arsenal will not recruit Lee Kang-in to play the role of a fake striker like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique. Arsenal have struggled in recent seasons with no solid No 9 resources. Gabriel Jeju's recruitment failed, and Kai Havertz showed limitations, although it was more than expected.
As a result, Arsenal want a player who can play the No. 9 role such as Alexander Isaac, Benjamin Seschko, and Victor Jockeres. This is not a play that Lee Kang-in can make.
It is certain that Arsenal wanted Lee Kang-in last winter, but it is not known whether the interest will last until this summer. Lee Kang-in is not mentioned at all in the recent rumors of Arsenal transfer from the BBC and other influential media, which should be considered unlikely. Lee Kang-in's escape from PSG is expected to be more difficult than expected.
