La Liga
Arsenal is already planning the next phase of its sports project and has identified three young promises that could reinforce the team in the medium or long term: Ayyoub Bouaddi, Lennart Karl, and Marc Casadó.
The London club, which is in a good financial position, combines immediate ambition with future vision and is looking to invest in players with development and potential to lead the team in the coming years.
Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the Gunners are not in a hurry to close big signings in January and prefer to focus on the evolution of the squad, but they are already working on scouting talents that can adapt to their style of play and pressuring possession system. Below, we analyze the three names on their radar.
Arsenal pursues Ayyoub Bouaddi as a generational investment
Arsenal is closely watching the case of Ayyoub Bouaddi, an 18-year-old midfielder from Lille, whom they see as a future bet to rejuvenate their midfield. Bouaddi has stood out in Ligue 1, drawing the attention of Arteta's scouts. In London, they see in him a technically skilled player, with dribbling ability, recovery, and tactical understanding that would fit the Arsenal style.
The club acknowledges that his arrival won't be immediate and that Bouaddi's commitment to Lille extends until 2027, but they believe that getting ahead of the competition would give them an advantage. This type of signing aligns with Arsenal's strategy of betting on young talent and building a team from within that can compete now and in the future.
Arsenal also keeps an eye on Lennart Karl among demanding options
The second name on Arsenal's list is Lennart Karl, a 17-year-old winger/attacking midfielder from Bayern Munich who has shown promising signs at the start of this season. His age, mobility on the right wing, and offensive capabilities make him a candidate for a future operation, although Arsenal recognizes the difficulty of the deal. The Bayern player is seen in reports as a talent to follow, but not among the immediate priorities.
Arsenal values this option as part of its strategic plan: incorporating young talents with potential and allowing them to develop before taking on a prominent role. Lennart Karl could fit within that profile, although the club emphasizes that there is no rush and that the current priority remains solidifying the team base.
Arsenal includes Marc Casadó in their radar for the midfield
The third target for Arsenal is Marc Casadó, a 22-year-old Spanish midfielder playing for Barcelona, whose progress has caught London's attention. Arsenal sees Casadó as an alternative capable of providing balance and physical presence in the midfield, a position in which the club aims to reinforce sooner rather than later. However, Barça is not willing to let him go easily, posing a challenge for Arsenal in competing for his signing.
The inclusion of Marc Casadó in the list reflects that Arsenal is willing to evaluate players who can complement the current cycle and have an impact in the medium term. Although this is not an immediate operation, the club is already working on detection and a possible move when conditions allow.
Arsenal maintains a dual strategy: responding to the existing competitive demand and projecting its future with young talent. Ayyoub Bouaddi, Lennart Karl, and Marc Casadó represent three facets of that vision: early investment, medium-term monitoring, and strategic signing respectively. The club knows it cannot afford to be complacent and is ready to act when the time comes.
