Arsenal are on the hunt for an extra defender to add to their Premier League title charge, and one of the options they are considering is plying their trade for the La Liga leaders. Girona left-back Miguel Gutierrez has been in impressive form this season, and a key part of their run to the top of the table.
Gutierrez, 22, was sold by Real Madrid to Girona for €4m two summers back, but Los Blancos do retain a 50% sell-on fee. His release clause is believed to be around €40m, and although Girona would be reluctant to lose him, they may cave before that figure. Their current record transfer is €12m for Pedro Porro, while their entire salary limit is just under €52m for the season. If Real Madrid also equal Arsenal’s offer, Girona are obliged to accept it, but with Fran Garcia and Ferland Mendy on their books, and Alphonso Davies in their headlights, it seems unlikely they would be tempted to do so.
Starting 11 of their 12 matches so far, Gutierrez has assisted once for Girona, but become a key part of their build-up. Often moving inside to a central midfield role, leaving the flank for Brazilian winger Savio, Gutierrez has shown he can move the ball under pressure, as well as exhibiting a strong positional sense.

Arsenal don't need defenders now,all we need is a striker, right winger who is Saka's competitor and a replacement of Thomas Partey.That is all we need to win trophies.

Zinchenko must be moved to play in ze midfield and why is arteta not using elneny also? In the midfield they must go for zubimendi as they are saying, he similar to partey.
Yeah Martin Zubimendi is perfect fit and Elneny will be a very brilliant backup. He’s a good midfielder too

Yeah we’re stocked with defenders but I don’t think all are genuine. We lack a traditional left back (zinchenko is more of an attacking LB). Tomi, white and Timber are cool for a standard RB BUT our LB is shaking. Remember that 2-2 draw at Liverpool last season, see the equalizing goal?? I think we need a traditional LB to add another dimension to our game. Fact is we also need a backup or another no10 to compete with Odegard and some with Saka and of course we need a lethal striker no9
