Arsenal plotting move for midfielder just days after completing Rice signing

 

Now, it appears that Arteta is looking to bolster his squad even further, despite signing Rice just two days ago.

According to Football Insider, the Gunners are plotting a move for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia.

The Belgian was in fine form for the Saints last term despite their relegation, and he is likely to secure a move back to the top flight this summer.

Lavia, 19, joined Southampton from Manchester City last summer and made 34 appearances across all competitions last term.
