Arsenal and Manchester City are set to engage in another competition, this time in the transfer market, as both clubs have their sights on the 18-year-old English talent, Noel Buck, often likened to Granit Xhaka.

There have been murmurs that Arsenal has been feeling the absence of Granit Xhaka since his departure in the summer. While Kai Havertz has shown promise in potentially stepping into the role, his current struggles to adapt to the midfield position are apparent.

However, his recent impressive performance as a substitute against Manchester City over the weekend is noteworthy. In a move reminiscent of Granit Xhaka’s style, Havertz expertly set up Gabriel Martinelli, leading Arsenal to victory.

This backdrop sets the stage for the latest transfer story. Arsenal, alongside Manchester City and Burnley, is reportedly vying for the signature of 18-year-old MLS talent Noel Buck, as revealed by The Athletic. Possessing both English and American citizenship, the midfielder is touted as one of the most promising young talents in the United States, attracting attention from several top Premier League clubs.

Noel Buck, a commanding presence for the New England Revolution, is a versatile box-to-box midfielder known for his composure on the ball. He frequently positions himself advantageously in the opponent’s box and possesses a powerful shot. It’s believed that he could seamlessly fulfill a similar role to the one previously occupied by Xhaka at Arsenal last season
