William CarvalhoArsenal may have to target another defensive midfielder after new Sporting Lisbon manager Jorge Jesus insisted William Carvalho will not be leaving the Portuguese side this summer.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates and after an impressive showing in the Under-21 European Championship last month, interest has increased in the midfielder.

However, after leaving his post at Benfica to become the new Sporting manager, Jesus has no intention to sell Carvalho

The Daily Express claims Jesus told Portuguese television network SIC:

‘William is a certainty. Sporting has young people who are already certainties, are not hopes or doubts. William will be enhanced if the team is also. 

‘Only players value the team respond to winning titles. He’s a player with features to play more. I have no doubt that with me will play more.’

But despite Jesus’ reluctance to sell the Portugal international this summer, Arsene Wenger could still acquire him, but only if the Frenchman is willing to activate the midfielder’s reported £37 million release clause.

Although held in high regard by Sporting and fans around Europe, splashing out £37 million on Carvalho would be a huge gamble in my opinion, as he is still developing his game and lacks Premier and Champions League experience.

I believe Wenger can find a better alternative for a smaller fee, but if the Frenchman thinks Carvalho is the man to strengthen the side and is worth £37 million, then he should make it happen.

    We have coq, with wilshere to cover (don’t laugh) – we do not need another midfielder – save our money for a world class centre forward – id say coq will be the stand out player in his position in the premier league over taking matic. All of the story’s regarding midfielder’s coming to the arsenal are so far off the mark, you would be stupid to believe any.
