Since his debut with the first team, Sancet has proven to be a versatile and decisive player in La Liga. At 25 years old, he has played almost 200 matches with Athletic Club, scoring 43 goals and providing 18 assists, establishing himself as one of the brightest talents in Spanish football.

His progression has caught the eye of top-level clubs looking to strengthen their creativity and midfield presence.

Arsenal and their interest in Sancet

Arsenal considers Sancet a top priority. Mikel Arteta is seeking an attacking midfielder to complement Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, bringing versatility and goal threat to the opposition's area.

With an 80 million euro release clause, the future of Oihan Sancet is open to speculation. Arsenal, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur emerge as the main contenders, and it will be crucial to see who convinces the player and Athletic Club that his next career move will be in England.
