Latest Fantasy Rumors
Arsenal showing interest
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta wants to sign Rakitic ahead of the 2020-21 season, according to Alexis Bernard of Le10Sport.
ANALYSIS
Arteta wants to sign a central midfielder ahead of the 2020-21 season, especially if The Gunners can't extend the loan deal for Dani Ceballos. Rakitic does not have a future at Barcelona and The Gunners would be open to bring the 32-year-old playmaker on board. He would add some much-needed experience in midfield.
