Arsenal have been linked with a surprise move for Cristian Romero after the defender reportedly told Tottenham that he wants to leave in search of a new challenge this season. Arsenal are keen to maintain their high standards and believe adding another quality defender could make their squad even stronger. For Mikel Arteta, having three elite centre-backs available would create a positive selection challenge. Choosing between Romero, Saliba and Gabriel would give the manager multiple high-quality options when deciding his starting line-up. If Romero does leave Tottenham this summer, the Gunners could be among the clubs ready to compete for his signature and add further depth to their squad.
