Transfer news: Yannick Carrasco to Arsenal latest update

Arsenal has been linked with Yannick Carrasco for almost a week now but Unai Emery’s announcement that confirmed that only loan deals can be done made the Arsenal fans lose hope of signing the Belgian international. His wife has however confirmed Arsenal’s interest in the player.

Arsenal is now suffering because of lack of wingers at the club and Unai Emery doesn’t want to change his formation to favour Mesut Ozil so he will now be looking to sign a winger so that they can see if they will succeed with the 3-4-3 formation this season. Yannick Carrasco is playing for Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang but it’s claimed by his wife that the player isn’t happy there and wants a return to Europe.

Yannick Carrasco’s wife had an interview with Belgian outlet RTBF a few days back and she confirmed that both Manchester United and Arsenal alongside other clubs from Europe were interested in the former Atletico Madrid star.

“There are a lot of things happening. He’s been called by many clubs, all of which are interested.” she said.

“Offers have arrived from Germany, Spain, England, and Italy but nothing is concrete, nothing has been signed yet.”

It is however uncertain how the gunners will be able to sign Yannick Carrasco yet they can only sign players on loan but they might purchase him after selling one of their stars like Mesut Ozil who has lost the favour of Unai Emery.
