What Charles Watts said about Rodrigo
I’ll talk Catch off side In his latest column this week, Charles Watts said about Rodrigo Saga.
“It looks like Nico Williams is heading for Barcelona. This is one of Arsenal’s left winger’s top targets, but Real Madrid has other options and Rodrigo’s situation is certainly worth noting (and check out the profile of Mark Bullus’ Rodrigo player).
“It looks like a situation that could run deep into the window, but with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Torosard on the team, there’s no need to rush when it comes to Arsenal signing the winger.
“They have time to weigh their options and see what happens at Rodrigo, just like they did when they finally signed Real Madrid’s Martin Odegard.
“They were interested in things like James Madison and Emi Buendia that summer, when Madrid decided that Odegard could leave Arsenal and fly away to chance to get a deal.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried something similar to Rodrigo.”
Arsenal fans will want to see someone in Rodrigo’s caliber to give Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Torosad upgrades.
Still, while Chelsea and Man United imagine they might be better positioned to buy Rodrigo, one source also mentioned interest from the Saudi Arabian professional league club.
