Reports in Spain suggest that Arsenal and Liverpool are among a number of European clubs who have been approached regarding a potential summer move for Celta Vigo defender \u00d3scar Mingueza.<\/p>\n
The versatile Spanish international, who came through the ranks at Barcelona before moving to Celta in 2022, is thought to be attracting interest as clubs seek cost-effective squad additions ahead of the 2024\u201325 season.<\/p>\n
Mingueza, 26, has quietly built a strong reputation in La Liga, featuring regularly as both a centre-back and right-back for Celta. His ability to play across multiple defensive roles, coupled with his comfort on the ball, has reportedly alerted several Premier League sides monitoring value signings for the summer window.<\/p>\n
According to local reports, intermediaries have made his availability known to clubs in England, with both ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em> and Liverpool understood to have been sounded out. While no formal offers have been made, the interest is described as exploratory at this stage.<\/p>\n Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is expected to reinforce his defensive depth, particularly on the right side, with injuries and fixture congestion testing the squad this season. Meanwhile, Liverpool may also look to bolster their backline as they assess long-term options at centre-back and full-back.<\/p>\n Why Mingueza Could Be a Low-Risk Signing<\/strong><\/p>\n From a financial standpoint, Mingueza represents a relatively low-cost opportunity compared to many Premier League-proven defenders. Celta Vigo are not expected to demand an inflated fee, especially if they reshape their squad in the summer. For Arsenal or Liverpool, who will both be mindful of balancing depth with budget, that makes him an appealing profile.<\/p>\n Technically, Mingueza fits the modern Premier League mould. He is comfortable in possession, capable of stepping into midfield lines, and experienced in playing within build-up systems\u2014traits that align well with ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s structured positional play and Liverpool\u2019s evolving style. His La Liga experience also suggests a smooth tactical adaptation.<\/p>\n Crucially, he would not arrive as a marquee signing required to start every match. Instead, he offers proven reliability, versatility, and tactical intelligence\u2014qualities that top clubs increasingly value when constructing competitive, rotation-ready squads.<\/p>\n For both Premier League sides, Mingueza represents the type of low-risk, potentially high-reward depth addition that can help maintain consistency across long campaigns and multiple competitions<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \u2013 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Latest: Wow!
