Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta reportedly approves the signature of an all-round player his son Hyun Min considers “incredible.”
Arsenal will turn their attention to next season after PSG’s defeat
PSG’s semi-final loss in the 3-1 Champions League means that Arsenal has no silverware to play for next season. In other words, Berta’s debut summer at Emirates Stadium is gaining even more attention.

The gunners have made greater progress than this summer.
The former Atletico Madrid chief is expected to be extremely busy in the coming weeks, with a massive squad overhaul already being discussed by the media section.
According to Givemesport, Berta could even adjust summer costs of up to £300 million to seven signatures across the team, and are very hopeful that the forwards will arrive at Arsenal among them.

The injuries to Kai Herberts and Gabriel Jesus seriously debilitated Arteta’s forward choices and exposed the lack of a strong scorer to lead their line, but there are also few valuable options for the right wing behind Star Man Bukayo Saka.
Also, some uncertainty surrounds long-term futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, which are sporadically linked with potential exits from the N5, so Arsenal’s forward line could look very different by the time next season begins.
Arsenal was able to sign striker, left winger and right winger this summer (Givemesport), but Arsenal only has the money to spend on a well-known star.
However, one man who can cover many bases in the attacking area, and a player who is now believed to be interested, has come in the form of a versatile PSG Ace Lee Kan-in.
Earlier this week, a report from the Sun claiming Berta personally wanted Arsenal’s Lee claimed he was ready to sell Korea International, where PSG can play as a left-handed, left-handed, midfielder who attacks as a striker when needed.
Mikel Arteta ‘welcomes’ Lee Kang-In signature at Arsenal
Berta appears to have been driving the move for Lee when he was in Atletico, just to miss out on signing the PSG.
Following these claims, sources in Spanish media have said Arteta would “welcome” Lee’s signature at Arsenal, so it appears that both the manager and the sports director agree with his quality.
The 24-year-old has scored six goals and six assists in all competitions this season.
Calling Lee a “perfect” player, Enrique found his real use as the utility man for the Parc de Princess, and judging by praise from his international teammate’s son, it could be a very useful addition for Arsenal, even if he insisted that PSG could demand £51 million to let him go late last year.
“Kang Ying Lee’s talent is incredible,” his son told Sunkmo Lee in 2023.
“I believe he can grow even further. We need to help him not put too much pressure on him.”
