Transfer News: Noa Lang Flashes Green Light On Talks With Arsenal

Arsenal has a lot of targets in mind, and one of them is Noa Lang of Club Brugge.

According to Voetbal 24, the management group of Lang will be open to discussions soon.

The 22-year-old player’s representatives are aware that Lang’s future would be better off joining other clubs with Arsenal and AC Milan mentioned as potential destinations.

No less than Lang himself appears to be aware of this since it would be tied to other things.

One of them is that joining a bigger club would boost the Dutch player’s chances of securing a place in the Netherlands squad for the 2022 World Cup.

Lang has already provided a glimpse of what he can do at the international level but knows he can only maintain that by joining a bigger club.

It has long been believed that Arsenal has a long-standing interest in Lang although it would come at a hefty price.

Per reports, FC Bruges may ask as much as £33 million ($44.3 million) for the Dutch winger.

Last summer, the Gunners were reportedly willing to offer only as much as £25 million ($34 million) for Lang.

It remains to be seen if Club Brugge will relax on the demand although the chances are not looking too high.

Considering Lang has been performing well for FCB, the asking fee may even get higher.

Lang is coming off a superb season, where he scored 17 goals and issued 11 assists across all competitions.

Aside from that, he has also had two appearances for the Dutch national team.

For now, Mikel Arteta will have to see if pursuing Noa Lang would make sense.

They do have Nicolas Pepe in tow, and his progress may factor in.
