Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all keeping tabs on Martim Fernandes
As per TBR Football, all of these three English clubs are keeping close tabs on Fernandes. A move to Premier League will surely excite Fernandes and he will consider it as a huge step up in his career. Gunners have a great squad depth but players like Zinchenko and Kiwior are close to exit. Fernandes can become their long term replacement.
The Blues are always keen to sign young players and Fernandes fits really well in that system. He can replace captain Reece James who has been highly injury prone and hence linked with exit. The 18 year old can even compete for starting position with Malo Gusto.
Lastly, Liverpool will look at Fernandes as a long term replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Arnold is in last year of his contract and is heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid. Fernandes can even act a quality backup for Robertson who will be 31 years old in March.
Live Updates
Liverpool had their game against Everton suspended. Chelsea and Arsenal can now close the gap with the Reds tomorrow if they win. But Arne Slot’s men will surely go into the Merseyside derby as favorites again when the game is rescheduled. Man City have alredy dropped points which will be important boost for both Arsenal and Chelsea in title race.
