German football journalist Christian Faulk argued that Arsenal had taken a concrete approach to the potential relocation of Bayern Munich’s defensive midfielder Joa Parchña.
Portugal International previously shined in the Premier League during his spell with Fulham, but it makes sense that he is now linked to his return to England after a difficult spell in the Bundesliga since his move a year ago.
