Aim at the stars of the future! TA: Arsenal is paying attention to young players Karechas and Muzakitis
According to TA, Arsenal is paying attention to Henk's 17-year-old Greek international Karechas and Olympiacos' 18-year-old midfielder Muzakitis.
Arsenal has been closely watching the rise of Karechas, who was promoted to the first team in February 2024 after playing for the youth team for a year in the Belgian League Two. Since last season, 16-year-old Carrechas has been frequently seen in the Belgian top league. Karechas mainly serves in the No. 8 or 10 position, but can also be moved on the right side.
Although he represented Belgium in youth level competitions, at the adult national team level, Karechas chose Greece where his parents were born. He made his national team debut in the first leg of the European League relegation playoff against Scotland in March, and scored his first international goal in the second leg, becoming the youngest goal scorer in Greek football history. At that time, he was only 17 years, 4 months and 4 days.
In addition, Arsenal also pays attention to Olympiacos' 18-year-old midfielder Muzakitis. A player who gets the chance to play at the national team at the age of 17 is likely to be worth a lot of money, with the expected transfer fee of 30 million to 40 million euros.
Any agreement reached will need to be formalized at some point in the future, or involves loaning Karechas back to Henk: Since he will not turn 18 until November, he will not be able to join Arsenal until this winter transfer window. There is no contact between the two teams at the moment, and whether Arsenal's interest will develop further will depend on their key decision makers.
