Just Now:Arsenal leads race to sign right Footed Hajduk Split’s midfield maestro Pukstas among other Rivals

Arsenal leads race for Hajduk Split’s midfield maestro PukstasPukstas‘ football journey has been unique, starting at Sporting Kansas City’s academy, followed by trials at Manchester United and time spent at Barcelona’s academy in the USA. He found his footing at Hajduk Split in 2020 and has since become a first-team regular, playing an integral role in their Croatia Cup triumph last year and scoring seven in 31 games.

Despite recently signing a contract extension with Hajduk Split until 2027, the club’s current situation may lead to a potential transfer. The appointment of former player Nikola Kalinić as sports director has caused internal friction, making a summer move for Pukstas increasingly likely.

Arsenal‘s interest in Pukstas aligns with their recent trend of investing in young talent. His playing style, drawing comparisons to Bayern Munich’s Thomas Muller, could potentially fit well into Mikel Arteta‘s system. Additionally, his American nationality could offer significant marketing opportunities for the club and their American owners who will hope Pukstas could offer more than recent American acquisitions, Matt Turner and Auston Trusty..
