Arsenal and Liverpool have reportedly expressed strong interest in signing Ansu Fati, who is presently on loan from Barcelona to Brighton & Hove Albi.
Fati’s trajectory towards the Premier League underwent a captivating development during the summer transfer window, when he rejected Tottenham Hotspur in favor of joining the Seagulls.
According to BBC Sport’s Guillem Balague (via TBR Football), Tottenham Hotspur came perilously close to not being able to sign the Spain international on loan. Reportedly, Fati was making steady progress in his discussions with Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou when his decision was altered by a conversation with Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi.
Football Transfers (via TBR Football) has recently published reports that provide additional insight into the future of the 21-year-old in the Premier League. Although Arsenal has conveyed their interest in the forward, they encounter substantial challenges in the form of Liverpool and Manchester United.
Additionally, Fati is rumored to have a goal unrelated to the Premier League. According to reports, upon the conclusion of his loan, the forward intends to return to Barcelona in an effort to solidify his position with the La Liga leaders.
His contribution to Brighton has been remarkable, despite his restricted number of starts. In the Premier League, he has appeared once starting and seven times substituting, registering two goals. His impact has been more significant in the UEFA Europa League, where he has contributed to four matches with two goals and one assist.
