Ever Banega has popped up on Arsenal’s rumor list multiple times now and the Argentine has snapped his way back up that transfer rumors linking him to Arsenal lately.
Despite failed approach to sign the midfielder in the Summer, its said that the Gunners are back in for the 30-year-old with an anticipated deal in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Eldesmarque reports that Unai Emery wants to link up once again with Ever Banega and that Arsenal have been preparing a swoop for the past few months, as they see him as someone who could potentially replace Aaron Ramsey in the middle of the park.
The reports claim that – former Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis met with Banega in the summer, only for him to turn down to stay at Sevilla. But he is yet to sign a new deal at Sevilla and it is believed that Arsenal could instead seal his services in January for something around £18 million.
But a prospect of him replacing Aaron Ramey has not gone down with about everyone, former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton believes that Arsenal would be making a mistake if they allowed Aaron to leave.
“I would [give him a deal],” said Sutton.
“It seems to be his desire to leave but he is such an important player for Arsenal.
“Who are Arsenal going to get in who can do a better job?”
Aaron Ramsey has tally of one goal and six assists in 15 league appearances this season.
Gooners also believe getting Banega for would not prove influential, as they took to Twitter to express their unwillingness;
Banega is such a dead, unnecessary bullshit transfer.

Why’s Unai signing Banega???

Despite Banega being a good player, I don’t think it’s a good idea for a cash limited club to invest that sort of money on a 30yo midfielder. Oh and btw, he’s not a DM that can cover for Torreira or replace Elneny, he’s a CM or AM, more of a Ramsey replacement.

Arsenal are about to sign Banega. This makes me sad @Callux. Do the right thing.

Underwhelming what we want is a goalscoring midfielder to replace Ramsey. banega is more a dp or what u would call a schemer

I even supported him over Ozil nonsense but fuck that now! He’s mad! He want to get rid off Ozil and Ramsey for Banega?! LOOOOOOL!!! What are we? Fucking Watford?!

Is a 30 year old Ever Banega really worth an £18m upgrade on a 27 year old Aaron Ramsey? #AFC
— Sean Twomey (@MrTwomey) December 26, 2018
Explain the logic of paying £20m for a player in their 30s, to replace Ramsey , in order to save £20m in wages over the next 5 years?
I’ll wait— Positively Ozil and Ramsey (Blackburn George) (@arseblagger) December 26, 2018
Not sure why Emery would go for Banega when Rabiot who is cheap & young available.

I don’t know about this Ever Benega link, Emery should just stick to coaching leave the recruitment up to Mislintat

Why go for Banega when we can get Denis Suarez for the same amount? Plus letting Rambo go, and replacing him with Banega is two steps backward imo

Am I the only one who thinks that Banega isn’t an upgrade on Ramsey?
