Arsenal are on the verge of signing another youngster but it’s not Bielik, surprisingly. Viktoria Plzen youth player Martin Graicier is apparently signing for the Gunners.
Graicier has been eagerly followed by teams such as Chelsea and Real Madrid so he is certainly a hot prospect.
Graicier is due to arrive in London this weekend to finalise a deal with the North London side.
According to Metro, Arsenal had initially tried to sign the young striker last year; however a stumbling block was reached over a fee with the players. The Gunners however returned with an improved offer and it seems as if a deal was agreed.
The 15-year old went to social networking site Facebook to announce the deal, stating:
‘Wenger is the one who made this possible.”
Graicier stated he will be having a medical with the Gunners on Saturday once he flies into London.
Wenger has been a keen admirer of the young striker and is a happy that a deal has been done.
So, what does that mean for Arsenal, if they were to sign him? Nothing for the next three to four years really. It’s great that we signed a player but once again he is another “prospect”. It’s clear to see that Wenger needs to buy a central defender and a defensive midfielder yet he continues to spend his time chasing youth players.
Again I’m not angry that we signed the player, I’m sure he’ll be a great addition to the side in the future, however I’m frustrated at the idea that Wenger is spending all of his time trying to sign younger players instead of focusing on his senior side.
Amazingly Wenger could be signing someone younger than Bielik this window, astonishing.
