Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs to have been approached over the potential transfer of Celta Vigo defender Oscar Mingueza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old is due to be out of contract this summer and it seems he has a long list of admirers from the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Arsenal and Liverpool have been sounded out by intermediaries, and it seems they are interested in a potential deal, while Manchester City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Everton could also be in the mix, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With so many clubs involved, it\u2019s hard to know for sure where Mingueza could be most likely to move to next, but the report suggests that Arsenal and Man City seem particularly keen on the Spain international.<\/p>\n

Oscar Mingueza looks like a low-risk transfer to add quality and depth<\/h2>\n

Given that Mingueza is set to be available on a free this summer, there\u2019s little risk in offering him a deal.<\/p>\n

This is a player still in his prime years, with quality and experience and the ability to fill in in a variety of defensive positions, and even in midfield.<\/p>\n

With Arsenal suffering so many injuries this season, it\u2019s easy to see why a player of this profile would appeal to Mikel Arteta, so see below for how we scored this potential signing for the Gunners\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Even if Mingueza is not the best player in the world or someone who\u2019ll get a lot of fans off their seats, he looks like the potential to be a superb market opportunity.<\/p>\n

Liverpool would likely also benefit from someone like Mingueza coming in after difficult debut seasons for new full-backs Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.<\/p>\n
