Arsenal and Manchester City has emerged as the frontrunners to sign highly-rated midfielder Charles De Ketelaere. This Belgian international has made quite a huge impacts recently in Italy with Atalanta, impressing several Premier League clubs with his creativity and versatility.
The sensational displays of De Ketelaere have put him into the radar of both Arsenal and Manchester City since both teams want to upgrade their midfield. The Gunners like his ability to do well in various attacking roles, while City sees him as a potential long-term replacement for the aging De Bruyne.
While Arsenal have been busy in the transfer market, but signing De Ketelaere won’t come easy. His skills and potential attracted the interests of other Premier League clubs like West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United. Atalanta will surely ask for a huge fee given De Ketelaere’s worth.
This is a kind of race between the two most aggressive contender of the best available stars in the Premier League. The two teams are keen on strengthening their teams for the battle to compete for trophies, both domestically and in Europe, and a player of the quality of De Ketelaere gives these aspirations quite a serious lift.
As the January transfer window on the way, nobody knows which of the two clubs is ahead in the race for De Ketelaere. Whichever way it may go, though, it’s the Belgian midfielder’s choice that will mean everything for the Premier League and perhaps is to determine even the view of the title battle in the following seasons.
