According to reports from Italy, Arsenal are interested in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha. The London club currently leads the Premier League table and continues to show significant progress under Mikel Arteta. In recent years, it has successfully attracted top players from across Europe, as demonstrated by the signing of Viktor Gyökeres after his outstanding season with Sporting.
Vitinha has enjoyed an exceptional year with PSG, winning a treble and finishing third in the Ballon d'Or voting. Arsenal believe his arrival could bring a winning mentality that the team has often lacked in decisive moments. The Portuguese midfielder also helped his national team triumph in the UEFA Nations League, confirming his experience with success at the highest level.
Another advantage is his familiarity with English football. During his loan spell at Wolverhampton, he experienced the pace of the Premier League and could quickly adapt to Arteta’s system. Arsenal have long focused on players in their prime years, and the 25-year-old Vitinha fits perfectly into this strategy.
The current Gunners midfield is undergoing changes. Mikel Merino is still finding his form, and Christian Nørgaard is no longer at his peak. Vitinha could form a strong core alongside Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Eberechi Eze, and Martín Zubimendi. The transfer would provide greater depth and balance, which is crucial for competing for trophies in the coming seasons.
Liverpool are also reportedly interested in the player, but Arsenal believe his playing style and experience make him an ideal addition to the Emirates Stadium side. If the transfer is completed, it could represent one of the most important steps in strengthening the midfield under Arteta’s leadership.
