# Arsenal: Negotiations still continuing with Roma for Justin Kluivert

**It seems like talks between Arsenal and Roma for Henrik Mkhitaryan and Justin Kluivert are still ongoing following recent reports, with the Gunners prepared to offer the Dutch youngster a lucrative offer.**

Arsenal have offered Kluivert a contract which is worth around £3.1m per season in a bid to sign the Roma winger, according to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/roma-arsenal-kluivert-diventa-una-plusvalenza-da-premier-i-detta-81033), and talks between both clubs began some time ago, with Arsenal now stepping up the negotiations.

The Gunners have offered Kluivert a four-year contract that will see the winger earn more than double his current salary, as per [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/roma-arsenal-kluivert-diventa-una-plusvalenza-da-premier-i-detta-81033), and Roma would be happy for the player to leave for around £35m, although the Gunners could sweeten the deal by offering Mkhitaryan.

The Dutchman has [averaged](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison) 1.9 shots, 1.1 key passes and 1.7 successful dribbles a game this season, per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331579/Show/Justin-Kluivert), which highlights that he has a creative threat. Also, with the winger being only [21](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison), he is raw and has bags of potential. He has scored four goals and supplied one assist in Serie A this season, which is maybe not the most eye-catching return, but his [attacking statistics](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331579/Show/Justin-Kluivert) show that perhaps he has just been unlucky this season.

With Eddie Nketiah, [Bukayo Saka,](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/arsenal-fc-transfer-rumours/bukayo-saka-profile/) and Joe Willock being trusted to [start for the Gunners](https://www.skysports.com/football/man-city-vs-arsenal/teams/408255) against Manchester City last night, it looks like Mikel Arteta wants to build a squad around youth, and the deal would be perfect for both parties. Arsenal could be the perfect place for the winger to grow as a player, whilst Arteta gets to utilise the full potential of Kluivert.
