Arsenal have made an offer for the Barcelona Whizkid

The football transfer season is upon us. Arsenal have made a bid to sign 19-year-old Barcelona talent Ilias Akhomach in a Bosman move this summer. Akhomach’s contract with Barcelona is about to expire. With just three first-team appearances, he could consider leaving the club to find more playing time.

In this article, we discuss Arsenal’s offer to sign Ilias Akhomach, his career at Barcelona and his prospects as a footballer.

Whizkid Ilias Akhomach of Barcelona.

Ilias Akhomach is a 19-year-old footballer who plays as a right winger. He has been at Barcelona since 2017. He has impressed many with his skills and the potential of him. Akhomach made his first team debut in November 2021, shortly after Xavi Hernandez became senior manager. However, Akhomach only made three first-team appearances for Barcelona which is not enough for a player of his potential. With his contract due to expire soon, Akhomach could be looking for more playing time and new opportunities.

Arsenal and their interest in Ilias Akhomach

Arsenal have made an offer to sign Ilias Akhomach from Bosman this summer, according to a report from Spanish outlet SPORT. The Gunners have been monitoring Akhomach’s situation for some time and are keeping in touch with his entourage. The signing of Akhomach would be a smart move for Arsenal as he is a talented young player with a bright future. He could serve as a backup to Bukayo Saka, who has been Arsenal’s most outstanding player in recent seasons. Arsenal could also send Akhomach on loan to gain more experience.

Akhomach’s potential suitors: Arsenal, Milan and Sevilla

Arsenal aren’t the only club interested in Ilias Akhomach. AC Milan and Sevilla are also said to be interested in signing the youngster on a free transfer. However, with Leeds United pulled out of contention following the departure of Victor Orta, the race to sign Akhomach is wide open.

Conclusion 

In summary, Ilias Akhomach is a talented young footballer who has caught the attention of several top clubs. Arsenal have made an offer to sign him in a Bosman move this summer.

“Ilias is not the new Messi and even if he was, it shouldn’t be said,” Gaggioli said of the comments. “Being Messi is practically impossible.

“He is a great player with enormous potential. They train him well at Barcelona, and he has a very clear head. He is only interested in football.”

Those Messi-like attributes have been on show in the early months of the 2021-22 season for both club and country, with Ilias having committed to representing Spain despite his family’s Moroccan heritage.

In just his fourth start for Barcelona B, Ilias scored twice against Sevilla Atletico in early November, first picking up space between the full-back and centre-back to place a right-footed shot into the bottom corner, before a rasping left-footed shot proved too hot to handle for the opposition goalkeeper as he brought up his brace before half-time.

“He is a winger who goes both ways when faced with one-on-ones,” explained Xavi’s brother and assistant coach, Oscar Hernandez, after Ilias’ promotion to the first-team squad was confirmed.

“Because of our game model, we need a player like that. He deserves the opportunity.”

Ilias’ first opportunity did only last 45 minutes as he was replaced at half-time, and after being forced to sit out the Champions League draw with Benfica due to a red card picked up in the UEFA Youth League, he was only a substitute against Villarreal.

It is felt that the youngster will need to eventually bulk up as he takes his next steps in the game, but when the ball is at his feet there are few more exciting youngsters anywhere in Spain right now, and Xavi already knows it.

Whether he can hit the heights of a player like Busquets (or Messi) remains to be seen, but there is no doubt that Ilias’ is a journey worth tracking.
