With Morgan Rogers set for Chelsea, Arsenal fans will be hoping that PSG’s Bradley Barcola is high on the list for Andrea Berta.
Rogers’ £117m move to Chelsea is a blow for the Gunners, who have tracked the Aston Villa star for months now.
Still, all is not lost and the Gunners are still planning on adding quality to the ranks this summer.
One of the players who Arsenal are keen on is PSG star Bradley Barcola. The French international could be ready to move on from the Ligue 1 side with his place in the starting XI not guaranteed.
However, after Arsenal pulled out of signing Rogers due to Villa’s asking price, they could find themselves in the same situation with Barcola.
PSG could ask for more than Morgan Rogers to sell Bradley Barcola
Every Arsenal fan will see Bradley Barcola as a player who improves this current squad and they’ll be keen for the club to show they mean business this summer.
Missing out on Rogers will have to be got over quickly. Obviously, signing Barcola would help banish that disappointment.
However, according to The Athletic, Arsenal could have the same issue with signing Barcola as they did with Rogers.
It’s claimed that PSG will demand even more than the £117m Villa are getting for Rogers, meaning the Gunners will face a big call on whether they go for the Frenchman or not.
Of course, some would argue that Barcola might be worth the money. At just 23 and having already starred for PSG and France, there is a big upside to Arsenal landing such a player.

Furthermore, there is no doubting that Arsenal need to improve down the left-hand side this summer.
We’ve already seen how the standard drops when Bukayo Saka is out on the opposite side, and Arsenal simply cannot afford to not have sufficient quality down the left either.
Barcola ticks plenty of boxes. Now, it’s just a case of how much Arsenal actually want this.
