Arsenal are currently leading the race to sign England U21 international Tino Livramento from Newcastle. According to @_ArsenalTeam via X<\/a>the North London club are at the front of the queue for the 22-year-old right-back, with growing confidence at the Emirates that a deal could be done this summer. Those close to the player suggest the defender would find it hard to turn down a move to a side regularly challenging for the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his defence, and the versatile full-back has become a priority because he can cover both the right and left flanks. Recent reports indicate contract talks between Livramento and the Magpies have stalled, only adding to the speculation that he could leave St James\u2019 Park. Newcastle are said to value the former Southampton star at around \u00a360 million, which is a steep rise from the \u00a332 million they paid for him back in 2023.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have secured one summer transfer and Arteta is determined to add \u00a345m star<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s interest makes sense as they look at the future of players like Ben White, who may eventually look for a fresh challenge elsewhere. Interestingly, Livramento is represented by the same agency as Mikel Arteta, a link that could give Arsenal a real advantage in any upcoming talks. While Manchester City and other top clubs are keeping tabs on him, the consensus is that Arsenal are the favourite. This move would be another clear sign of the club\u2019s strategy to bring in top-tier young talent to help them push for trophies at home and in Europe.<\/p>\n
