KEY POINTS
- Arsenal is taking in Rekik but as an investment for the future
- Rekik could be loaned back to Hertha Berlin
- The Gunners are still figuring out their midfielder void
Arsenal holds little options this January transfer window, but it appears that one of their future stars is already training with them.
He is no other than 19-year-old Omar Rekik, a center-back who was acquired from Hertha Berlin.
The deal is more of a delayed transfer that should have happened in the last summer transfer window. Rekik was part of the deal that involved Matteo Guendouzi.
However, the Gunners were unable to complete the paperwork for the teenage defender.
Rekik had already sparked rumors about his transfer when he posted a photo on social media of arriving in London last month. He has also been spotted training with Arsenal’s development squad.
