3 players that Arsenal fans must watch in the Champions League
By Kian Long
Arsenal’s season is over, but their transfer window is just beginning.
After their triumphant win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, winning their record-breaking 14th title in the competition, the Arsenal players can sit back and relax. Well, that is until they must face Liverpool in the Community Shield.
With the Champions League set to get back in action on Friday and through the weekend, the Arsenal fans will be watching from a neutral perspective. However, they must keep their eyes on these three players…
#3 Arturo Vidal (Barcelona)
Barcelona essentially bottled the La Liga title at the hands of Real Madrid, which Arturo Vidal wouldn’t have been pleased about. It’s thought that the Chilean international is looking for a move away this summer, with Mikel Arteta seemingly interested.
With Matteo Guendouzi likely on his way out of the Emirates Stadium, by some twist of fate it looks to be Barcelona. That said, Arsenal fans should tune into their second leg with Napoli.
Barcelona have the advantage in this match, as they scored an away goal in the 1-1 aggregate draw. However, they won’t be taking it easily. That said, the jury is out as to whether or not Vidal will start in this match but there is certainly a possibility, given his involvement in the starting XI since the Spanish project restart.
If not Vidal, then there may be one other star that Arsenal fans will keep their eyes peeled for. More on that next.
