# Arsenal: Gunners interested in ‘prodigy’ Dominik Szoboszlai

**Arsenal have their eyes set on various players for this upcoming transfer window, although they will only be able to attempt to sign midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai on one condition.**

According to [The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/16/arsenal-and-arteta-begin-10-game-tightrope-walk-that-may-decide-future), Mikel Arteta will be able to pursue the signing of the Red Bull Salzburg ‘prodigy’ if they manage to secure a Champions League place.

It is not certain how much the club would need to offer to buy the player, but Arsenal could be given a blessing if fifth place in the Premier League gets a Champions League qualification spot due to Manchester City’s ongoing issues with [UEFA.](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/16/pep-guardiolas-manchester-city-braced-for-a-defining-few-weeks)

It is obviously going to be difficult for the Gunners to battle for a top five spot as they currently sit ninth, but they are only [five points from fifth](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table), so it is not an impossible task by any means.

Szoboszlai boasts good potential at both ends of the pitch as he has averaged 1.4 successful tackles, 2.4 shots and one key pass a game in all competitions including the Champions League, per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/369875/Show/Dominik-Szoboszlai).

The central midfielder could be a good alternative to Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey, with whom the Gunners have been [linked](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/11863739/arsenal-thomas-partey-leave-atletico/) recently, as he would have cheaper wages and is much younger.

With experience in Europe’s premier club competition and contributions both defensively and in attack, the Hungarian stands out as a real talent and, if Arsenal can claim a top five position, they should definitely put the Salzburg player near the top of their most wanted list.
