The former Heerenveen full-back’s consistent showings for the Rotterdammers have garnered him interest from the Gunners, who are looking for a possible replacement of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bacary-Sagna-c7148.
Reports in English and Dutch media indicate that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daryl-Janmaat-c10384, in the upcoming summer transfer window as a perfect replacement for Bacary Sagna, who is expected to leave the club for
pastures greener come the end of the 2012/13 season.
Sagna, who has been plying his trade at Emirates Stadium since the summer of 2007, has recently expressed his desire of moving away from the club before the start of the 2013/14 season.
The Gunners management has been keen to prolong the Frenchman’s stay at Emirates Stadium by offering him a one-year extension to his ongoing deal that is set to expire in the summer of 2014. However, the former Auxerre stopper, who has thus far made well
over 150 appearances for Arsenal, has made up his mind of leaving the Premier League outfit for pastures greener.
After learning about the 30-year-old’s decision, the Arsenal management started to find a perfect replacement, and it has been reported that they have set their sights on acquiring the services of the Feyenoord defender in the upcoming summer transfer market.
Janmaat, who started his professional career in the 2007/08 season at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/ADO-Den-Haag-c38221, joined the Rotterdam giants in the summer of 2012 after making close to 100 Eredivisie appearances for Heerenveen.
The 23-year-old, who has thus far represented the Rotterdammers in over 20 league games, has loads of potential to become one of the best right-backs in the world, and the Gunners head coach, Arsene Wenger, has earmarked him as one of the possible replacements
for Sagna, who is likely to join Paris Saint-Germain or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan before the start of the 2013/14 season.
The Feyenoord full-back is still a raw talent, and may not be fully ready to compete in the highest echelons of English football. Furthermore, many would advise the youngster to continue plying his trade for another couple of years in the Dutch top tier
football before moving abroad.
However, it might be a wise choice for the Dutch stopper to join the Gunners in the summer to flourish under the leadership of Wenger, who has a history of crafting raw talents into world class players.
