Arsenal's transfer strategy has always been astute, and the reported interest in Joshua Kimmich is no different. The German's versatility and world-class quality make him an ideal signing for a club that is seeking to solidify its midfield and complement the long-term plan of technical director Edu.
Kimmich's ability to slot in as both a defensive midfielder and a right-back is a testament to his technical prowess and adaptability, two traits that are highly coveted in modern football.
The potential signing of Kimmich would not only address Arsenal's immediate concerns, but also pave the way for future recruitment. By bringing in a player of Kimmich's caliber, the Gunners can bide their time until a long-term option emerges, similar to the Thomas Partey transfer.
While the price tag may be steep, even with just a year remaining on Kimmich's contract, Arsenal's shrewd financial management suggests that this would not be a reckless gamble
