\"Oscar<\/p>\n

Arsenal have reportedly been handed the opportunity to sign Celta Vigo defender \u00d3scar Mingueza, as per BBC Sport<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gunners currently have Jurrien Timber and Ben White as the right-back options. The Dutchman has enjoyed a promising campaign this term, scoring four goals and registering six assists in 43 appearances in all competitions. Moreover, he has helped his side keep 13 clean sheets.<\/p>\n

However, the Englishman has been linked with a move away, having struggled with fitness problems in recent seasons. He has commenced 17 matches across all tournaments this term, with most of his starts coming in the cup competitions.<\/p>\n

Now, BBC Sport<\/em> report that Arsenal have been contacted to inform that Mingueza has entered the final few months of his current contract and could leave for free this summer.<\/p>\n

Mingueza is a versatile player as he is a right-back by trait but is also comfortable in the RWB position. Furthermore, he can provide cover on the opposite side and can also play in the centre-back role if needed.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old is a technically gifted right-footed defender. He is quick, extremely comfortable with possession, can play threading passes between the lines, and is efficient in defensive contributions.<\/p>\n

Mingueza, valued at around \u00a316m by Transfer market<\/span><\/a>is currently at the prime stage of his career and could be a shrewd acquisition for Arsenal should they purchase him. If White eventually leaves, Arsenal would have to make a move to strengthen the right-back position.<\/p>\n

Mingueza to Arsenal<\/h2>\n

However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club eventually make a concrete approach to secure Mingueza\u2019s services in the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after investing big money last summer, the Gunners have enjoyed a stellar campaign this term, sitting at the top of the Premier League table with a nine-point lead having played an extra game.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Arsenal are in an advantageous position to reach the Champions League semi-final after beating Sporting CP 1-0 in the quarter-final first leg in midweek.<\/p>\n

This weekend, Mikel Arteta\u2019s side are set to face AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League before taking on Sporting in the Champions League quarter-final second leg at home next week.<\/p>\n
