Arsenal legend tips Mikel Arteta to sign star who’s shown “he can play alongside Declan Rice”

Gomes has done well to revive his career in Ligue 1 after previously failing to make it at Manchester United earlier in his career, and he’s now a key part of the England international fold, while it perhaps feels inevitable that there’s now growing talk of him possibly coming back to the Premier League.

According to Simon Phillips via Substack, Chelsea have been long-standing admirers of Gomes, but Dixon has now talked up the possibility of the 24-year-old heading to north London instead.

We’ve now seen Gomes playing alongside Arsenal star Rice in the England midfield, and Dixon thinks this could be the kind of thing that convinces Mikel Arteta to make a move.

Discussing the possibility of Gomes moving to Arsenal with pjelmo, as quoted by the Metro, Dixon said: “I think Angel Gomes would fit in at Arsenal superbly.

“His qualities are clear to see, he’s a very good link-up player and we’ve seen that he can play alongside Declan Rice.

“He’s got a lot of potential and although there will be plenty of clubs looking at him, I could see him at Arsenal next season.”
