‘I was told’:Brighton Journalist shares what he’s heard about Simon Adingra and Arsenal just before deadline day

Arsenal are still exploring options to bolster their attack before the transfer window closes. Two names have surfaced in connection with the Gunners: Kingsley Coman and Simon Adingra.

While Arsenal’s interest in Coman is notable, the focus has shifted towards Simon Adingra, a promising young winger currently playing for Brighton. Adingra has made a strong impression early in the season, catching the eye of Arsenal’s recruitment team.

Kaya Kaynak, speaking on *The Arsenal Way* YouTube channel, mentioned that acquiring Adingra would likely cost Arsenal around £50 million at this stage in the window. Despite Adingra’s potential and the belief that he would be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s squad, the high asking price makes a deal unlikely in this transfer window. Arsenal have been cautious with their spending this summer, and splurging £50 million on a player who isn’t a regular starter for Brighton might not align with their current strategy.

Given these factors, while Adingra could be a great option for squad depth and future development, it seems more plausible that Arsenal will either wait until next summer to revisit this interest or explore other, potentially more cost-effective options in the remaining days of the transfer window.
