The Cog is beginning to spin at the Arsenal.
After a month of feeling like inactivity towards the fans, the gunners are beginning to move in the transfer window.
In addition to Martin Zubimendi’s contract, finally to conclusion, the club sealed Kepa Arrizabalaga’s £5 million deal and submitted a bid for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard.
Furthermore, recent reports suggest that Arsenal is proceeding with a talk to sign a world-class attacker.
Arsenal ramp up transfer business
Arsenal was first recognized as interested in Hato in December 2023, when he was only 17 years old.
Link then backed up last summer and then popped out again this spring, but in the past few weeks they started to feel really important.
For example, a report earlier this week revealed that North Londoners are now “accelerating their movements” due to the incredible teenage talent that costs around £43 million.
Signing such a highly rated young man is certainly exciting. Now it appears that the club is making progress in pursuing Rodrigo, who will be a great teammate for him.
At least that’s according to a recent report from the football transfer that reaffirmed Arsenal’s interest in Brazilian international.
However, the report goes even further, revealing that the gunners have “made a major advance in large-scale signatures and have “a positive debate over transfer fees with Real Madrid.”
Regarding that fee, the report claims that North Londoners have discovered that the complete package for landing the previous Santos gems is equivalent to the north number of 100 million euros, converting it to around £85 million.
So it could be a complicated and incredibly expensive transfer to get past the line, but given Rodrigo’s outrageous talent, that’s what Arsenal should do with him, especially since he can become the perfect teammate for the pigeon.
Why does Rodrigo become the ideal teammate for Hato?
The pigeons love playing behind Rodrigo, and there are two reasons why they are related to his output and positioning.
The first is very easy to understand, as Dutchman’s main focus is to stop the opposition from scoring. He scored twice in the league alone this season, providing six assists in just 31 appearances, of which 28 were left back.
So, if a 19-year-old has a more dangerous attacker before him, his own goals and support numbers could possibly soar, and in Brazilian genius he would have just that.

For example, “World-Class Superstar,” dubbed by Luka Modrić, still scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists in 53 minutes, offering a total of 3,425 minutes, despite having to remove most of this season from outside the right position.
Moving on to his positioning and looking at the heat maps of Real Ace this season and last season, it’s clear that what he wants to do is moving from the outside.
He then expands the space and spaces. This is best for duplicate fullbacks to exploit. The Ajax star wants to flip, but his own heat map shows that he also likes to move forward and stay widely.
Furthermore, respected analyst Ben Matinson argues that his “dynamism translates very well into overlapping LBs.” And adding the fact that he has some seriously impressive underlying numbers related to the creation of accidental things, he could broadly form a dangerous partnership with Rodrigo.
For example, FBREF places teenagers in the top 1% of fullbacks, the next best 14 competitions for pass completion, top 3% of goal creation chances from live passes, top 4% of overall goal creation actions, all top 4% per 90.
Ultimately, pigeons and Rodrigo will be a great signing for Arsenal, but together they could revolutionize the Gunners’ left side, making it as dangerous as their rights.
