**Arsenal** has set its sights on the **signing of** Oihan Sancet, midfielder for Athletic Club, following his brilliant performance in the **Champions League** against the London team.

**Mikel Arteta's** intention is to strengthen the midfield with a player who brings both scoring prowess and goals, in a position where **Mikel Merino** has not fully convinced.

Oihan Sancet, the new priority for Arsenal

The 25-year-old footballer has become one of the leaders at **Athletic Club**, with a contract until 2032. His departure won't be easy, as the Basque club does not usually negotiate easily with players considered essential.

So far this season, **Sancet** has scored one goal in four matches under the command of Ernesto Valverde, but his influence goes beyond statistics. His ability to break lines and appear in the box is what most entices Arsenal, which is seeking a midfielder with an attacking edge to complement Martin Ødegaard.

The red-and-white midfielder has already amassed 197 professional matches, with 43 goals and 18 assists, numbers that support his role as one of the most productive midfielders in LaLiga.

Arteta insists on an offensive reinforcement in the midfield

The Spanish coach was impressed by **Oihan Sancet's** performance in Arsenal's 2-0 victory over Athletic Club at San Mamés. In that match, the goals from **Gabriel Martinelli** and **Leandro Trossard** sealed the win, but it was the display of the Basque midfielder that caught Arteta's eye.

The coach believes that the Navarrese player could be the missing piece to perfect a midfield that already features Declan Rice and Ødegaard as mainstays. Furthermore, the potential departure of **Mikel Merino** in the summer opens the door to a restructuring in the central area.

**Arsenal** has not hesitated to spend lavishly recently. In the last transfer window, they splurged significant sums on **Eberechi Eze**, Martín Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyökeres, Piero Hincapié, Christian Nørgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

Nevertheless, the Gunners' board is willing to make an extra effort to secure the **signing of Oihan Sancet**. According to close sources, the club is preparing an offer close to 80 million euros for the summer of 2026.

This move is seen as a future investment, aiming to consolidate a competitive project that has already shown signs of growth in England and throughout Europe.

Athletic Club, standing firm in its position

The main obstacle is the resistance of **Athletic Club**, which is reluctant to part ways with one of its key figures. The Basque institution aims to stay in LaLiga's top 4 and progress in European competitions, so losing Sancet would be a severe blow to its sporting project.

The upcoming transfer window is shaping up to be a tense scenario between Arsenal's aspirations and Athletic's firm stance. The final decision could mark a turning point in the Spanish international's career.
