CaughtOffside knows that Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are all interested in signing Girona winger Viktor Tsygankov this summer.

According to sources, Arsenal and Newcastle have both received information on the Ukraine international, who has a €30 million release clause in his Girona contract, while Villa and AC Milan may also be interested in signing him this summer.

Tsygankov has impressed in La Liga and appears to be ready to move on to a bigger club in a more competitive league, so it will be interesting to see where this tale goes from here.

Tsygankov is open to a move to the Premier League, so it appears he may be eager to take on this task if any of Arsenal, Newcastle, or Villa make a more definite offer in the near future.

Tsygankov transfer: Will he join Arsenal or Newcastle?

Arsenal and Newcastle appear to have the most advanced interest in the 26-year-old right now, even though this is not a particularly advanced stage.

Arsenal fans will undoubtedly expect to see their team become more active soon following a quiet start to the summer, with a winger like Tsygankov being an ideal candidate to provide Mikel Arteta with extra depth in the attacking midfield.

AFC has been a little excessively reliant on Bukayo Saka at times, so Tsygankov could mean more rotation opportunities next season to ensure their top player isn’t burnt out.

Newcastle, meanwhile, requires a successful summer and may benefit from more spark in attack if they are to have a realistic chance of returning to the top four.
