EPL Transfer News-Arsenal and Newcastle are interested in a 22-year-old Serie A star, according to reports

Charles De Ketelaere, a midfielder from Belgium, is currently on loan at Atalanta of Italy.

The 22-year-old playmaker struggled with AC Milan last season and failed to score a goal. He has been given a loan to Atalanta so that he can gain regular first-team experience and regain his form and confidence.

Atalanta reportedly has the option to sign the player permanently at the end of the current campaign for a sum of about €30 million.

A report from Calciomercato in the interim.

It states that the midfielder is also being watched by Arsenal and Newcastle United.

It will be intriguing to see if the Premier League teams decide to make a firm offer to sign him in the upcoming months.

If the Premier League clubs are sincere about wanting to sign the player, Atalanta could easily consider exercising their option to sign him permanently before selling him for a profit.

A similar development would also be advantageous for AC Milan. The Italian goliaths are entitled to a future resale free of 10%.

De Ketelaere joined AC Milan with high expectations from across Europe, but the Rossoneri haven’t allowed him to consistently display his talents.

In just two appearances across all competitions, the midfielder has already scored twice, suggesting that the move to Atalanta has given him more confidence.

Given his youth, the Belgian has plenty of time to develop further and reach his full potential in the upcoming campaign. He might turn out to be a good long-term investment for Newcastle and Arsenal.

De Ketelaere might be a good fit for the Magpies, who could use more innovation from the central areas.

Similar to this, Arsenal needs to add more depth to their midfield, and the Belgian would make the perfect replacement for MEPL Transfer News-Arsenal and Newcastle are interested in a 22-year-old Serie A star, according to reports
