# Arsenal: Gunners interested in Eduardo Camavinga

**[Arsenal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-news/) are now thought to be interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, according to [The Evening Standard’s Simon Collings](https://twitter.com/sr_collings/status/1616498317050974216?s=46&t=GgWcqWWPXOTMQLKbloMJ-w).**

### The Lowdown: Camavinga profiled

Camavinga made the move to the Bernabeu back in 2021 from Rennes and has gone on to make [66](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eduardo-camavinga/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/640428) appearances for the Spanish giants.

Still just 20 years of age, the France international can [play](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eduardo-camavinga/profil/spieler/640428) as a holding or central midfielder and is sponsored by [Nike](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eduardo-camavinga/profil/spieler/640428). The left-footed player also shares the same [agency](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/caa-stellar/beraterfirma/berater/190) as Arsenal pair Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding and is valued at €50m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eduardo-camavinga/profil/spieler/640428).

### The Latest: Arsenal keen

Collings took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sr_collings/status/1616498317050974216?s=46&t=GgWcqWWPXOTMQLKbloMJ-w) on Friday evening to share what he’s heard about a possible move for Camavinga.

The journalist said that the Gunners are ‘interested in a loan move’ during the current window, but it is unclear if Real Madrid would agree to a temporary deal. Collings added that West Ham’s Declan Rice is still the first-choice summer target for midfield.

### The Verdict: Edu in overdrive

Sporting director Edu Gaspar has been a busy man in recent days, with [Leandro Trossard](https://www.arsenal.com/news/leandro-trossard-joins-long-term-contract) joining from Brighton. Defender [Jakub Kiwior](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1616444143865327618) also looks set to make the move to the Emirates from Spezia, so Camavinga could be a third signing in a short period of time.

Camavinga has started just [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eduardo-camavinga/leistungsdaten/spieler/640428) La Liga games so could feature more under Mikel Arteta, who has [limited options](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arsenal-fc/kader/verein/11) in holding and central midfield. Albert Sambi Lokonga is the [only](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arsenal-fc/kader/verein/11) out-and-out centre midfielder for the Gunners, so signing an exciting talent like Camavinga, who was nominated for the [2022 Golden Boy Award](https://madriduniversal.com/official-eduardo-camavinga-beaten-to-the-golden-boy-2022-award-by-barcelonas-gavi/), could be a smart move as the club look to continue their push for the title.
