Reports claim Arsenal have already made initial checks regarding Mingueza, viewing him as an experienced and financially sensible defensive reinforcement option available.
The 27-year-old previously represented Barcelona before rebuilding his reputation through consistently impressive performances in La Liga with Celta Vigo recently overall.
Mingueza Seen As Practical Alternative For Arsenal
Mingueza’s versatility reportedly appeals strongly to Arsenal because he can comfortably operate both at right-back and central defence positions whenever required consistently.
Club officials reportedly believe the Spanish international possesses qualities similar to Ben White, whose future continues attracting growing transfer speculation recently across Europe.
Despite Arsenal’s admiration for Tino Livramento, Newcastle United’s massive valuation could force the club toward more affordable alternatives during negotiations this summer, reports EPL Index.
Mingueza therefore represents a low-risk opportunity, especially considering Arsenal remain determined to maintain financial flexibility while improving squad depth carefully this summer.
Arteta reportedly wants dependable rotational players capable of handling multiple tactical roles as Arsenal prepare for another demanding Champions League campaign ahead.
Although Mingueza would not arrive as a headline signing, Arsenal believe his experience and adaptability could become extremely valuable throughout next season overall.
