Arteta targets signing Moroccan Omar Hilali to strengthen Arsenal’s defense

English club Arsenal is looking to strengthen its defense during the upcoming summer transfer window and has placed Moroccan player Omar Hilali, currently at Espanyol Barcelona, among its options.

According to media reports, coach Mikel Arteta plans to add Hilali to his squad, seeing him as a player capable of quickly adapting to the team’s style of play, which would provide him with more options in defense for the upcoming season.

Despite Arsenal’s interest, signing Hilali won’t be easy due to strong competition from major European clubs, with Barcelona at the forefront, expressing a desire to acquire him to strengthen their defensive line.

This competition reflects the increasing value of the player in the European market, making him a target for several teams looking to bolster their squads with young and promising talent.
