Arsenal and Liverpool boast the best defensive stats in the Premier League this season, a fact mirrored by their standings.

Liverpool could scupper Arsenal’s dealLee Sharpe tips struggling Arsenal star to turn his season around

Despite their solid backlines, both teams are reportedly eyeing reinforcements in defense come summer.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes (via 90min), both clubs are set to compete for Girona’s left-back, Miguel Gutierrez, who has a £25 million release clause.

Interestingly, his former club, Real Madrid, can reacquire him for just £6.5 million due to a buyback clause.

Arsenal’s interest stems from uncertainties about Oleksandr Zinchenko’s future at the club, although any new signing would likely be a reserve to Riccardo Calafiori.

Meanwhile, Liverpool aims to find a successor for Andy Robertson, whose performance has reportedly declined as he’s aged into his thirties.

Liverpool could scupper Arsenal’s deal

Both Arsenal and Liverpool offer appealing football projects, making it hard to choose one over the other as a more desirable destination. However, should Miguel Gutierrez opt for Liverpool, he might find more consistent playing time, especially if the league leaders decide to phase out Andy Robertson and move on from Kostas Tsimikas.

At Arsenal, Riccardo Calafiori fits well into Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup, and Jurrien Timber has also proven effective at left-back, raising questions about Arsenal’s actual interest in Gutierrez. Additionally, Arsenal might prioritize a significant investment in their attacking line this summer, potentially delaying any defensive signings.

Meanwhile, it’s uncertain if Real Madrid will activate their buyback clause for Gutierrez. If they do, it might be with the intention of selling him for a profit later, as Carlo Ancelotti already has Ferland Mendy and Fran Garcia as left-back options and might not seek another in the upcoming transfer window.

Lee Sharpe tips struggling Arsenal star to turn his season around

Raheem Sterling’s loan move to Arsenal is clearly not working out for either him or the club.

Mikel Arteta had high hopes that the Chelsea forward could significantly boost Arsenal’s attack, leading to Reiss Nelson being loaned out to make room for Sterling. Given Sterling’s impressive track record, he was anticipated to bring both depth and flair to Arsenal’s forward line.

However, Sterling’s performance has been underwhelming, echoing the reasons why Chelsea was ready to part ways with him. He’s not living up to his former self, and it’s increasingly evident that he’s struggling to make a positive impact at Arsenal.

Despite this, there was no move to terminate his loan in January, and he remains with the team. Sterling is attempting to recapture his form, but so far, he hasn’t capitalized on his chances.

As the season progresses to its critical phase, former player Lee Sharpe has expressed optimism about Sterling’s potential improvement. Sharpe commented, according to Metro Sport:

‘I’m not sure why he’s not getting picked, maybe it’s something Arteta has seen in training or something else. It’s a shame to see because we know he is capable of producing on the pitch, it’s just a matter of getting that out of him.

‘Arsenal could really do with his help on the right-wing too, considering they’re missing their star man for what looks to be at least another month, so I don’t think this is the last we’ve heard from him this season.’

Despite Lee Sharpe’s hopeful outlook, Raheem Sterling doesn’t seem to be the dynamic player he was during his time at Liverpool and Manchester City. There’s an increasing feeling that Arsenal could be squandering precious time in attempting to restore him to his previous peak performance.

Since Todd Boehly's hefty investment, Chelsea has been one of the most active teams in the transfer market. The Blues have recently shown interest in Borussia Dortmund's winger Karim Adeyemi, a standout player who has caught the eye of several top clubs. According to the Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool has now entered the fray to sign Adeyemi, joining Chelsea in the pursuit. Napoli had been in talks for the German star after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's move to Paris Saint-Germain but found his price tag prohibitive, paving the way for the English clubs. Dortmund has set Adeyemi's valuation at around £38 million, and there's a suggestion that he might be allowed to leave before the transfer window closes if the offer is right. Liverpool, with their financial capability, could outbid Chelsea, especially given their current standing in competitions. Liverpool are leading the Premier League and are in a strong position in the Champions League, which could be very appealing to Adeyemi. At Anfield, he would join a squad with a real shot at winning titles, potentially earning two medals by the end of the 2024/25 season. While Chelsea boasts a wealth of wing options, Liverpool's need for new wide players is evident with the uncertain future of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah, all of whom have been linked with moves away. This scenario would likely guarantee Adeyemi significant playing time at Liverpool. Chelsea's main advantage over Liverpool might be their financial muscle, having spent lavishly in recent transfer windows. They could potentially offer Dortmund more money and a more lucrative deal for Adeyemi. Nevertheless, it seems increasingly likely that Adeyemi could soon make a move to the Premier League from Germany.
