Arsenal Women are looking to secure Sweden international Rosa Kafaji from Hacken in the ongoing summer window.
The Gunners are in talks with the 21-year-old highly rated attacking midfielder as they look to secure her signatures and bring her services to the Emirates Stadium, per Tim Stillman of Arseblog.
However, Arsenal will have to fend off interests from the likes of Barcelona, Lyon, and Chelsea if they were to sign her this summer.
Gunners look to steal march on rivals for Rosa Kafaji
Kafaji has nine senior caps for Sweden and played in the Champions League for Hacken last season, where she faced the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain.
Jonas Eidevall has already added Spanish attacking midfielder Mariona Caldentey to the offensive side of the squad, and he is looking at a potential future star in Kafaji. And Arsenal would be a perfect destination for her considering it would bring up development opportunities, especially in an aging attack of Foord, Mead, and Lacasse, while she will also get opportunities to link up with some of the highly attributed talents in Russo, Kyra Cooney-Cross, and Frida Maanum. This way she will not only get the space to develop but also ensure that she is competing among the most elite of women in world football.
Rosa Kafaji could Be Arsenal’s next big thing
Wondering how good Rosa Kafaji is? Have a glimpse of her skill and ability yourself:
Rosa Kafaji is looked at as the heir to Kosavore Asllani in the Swedish national team, and she could be on her way to Arsenal.
Tim Stillman suggests that there is ‘confidence’ among the Gunners that a deal can be concluded to bring Kafaji to N5.
Arsenal have also added highly rated young Dutch goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar from Aston Villa during the summer transfer window.
