Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is convinced he is joining Arsenal this summer
Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is convinced he is joining Arsenal this summer Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is convinced that he is joining Arsenal this summer, according to Hand of Arsenal. The Gunners account and insider is famous for breaking some major news about Mikel Arteta’s side and often provides the latest updates around the Emirates Stadium club. They are followed by the likes of Dharmesh Sheth, Charles Watts, Miguel Delaney, Fabrizio Romano and Sami Mokbel on X and have proven to be a trusted source concerning all things Arsenal.
Hand of Arsenal have now claimed this evening that the England international believes he is leaving the St. James’ Park club for the Gunners. Arsenal have not made any contact with Newcastle but the full-back is one of the multiple targets being spoken to for each position as the North London club look to further bolster their squad depth.
Arteta and Livramento have the same agent, which could potentially simplify concluding a deal should the Gunners make a concrete move for the 23-year-old. The Englishman will have two years left on his Newcastle contract at the end of the season and has not yet shown a willingness to sign an extension. He plays on both flanks of the defence and his versatility appears to appear to Arsenal.
They could sell Ben White in the summer and Livramento will be a perfect replacement. Jurrien Timber continues to struggle with his fitness and Arteta will be keen to bring in a versatile full-back ahead of next season. Newcastle are expected to ask suitors for around £60 million for Livramento’s services, and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners are willing to pay that much for a defender.
The player is willing to join Arsenal given their recent status as credible challengers for the Premier League over the last four seasons. The opportunity to play regular Champions League football also appeals to him and it will be interesting to see how things unfold in the coming weeks.
