It’s His choice,You can force the Horse to the river but you can’t compel Him to drink it’: Man City star Phil Foden CONFIRMED his £40m International Teammate have accept to join Arsenal over Man city despite trying so hard to convince him
You can lead a horse to a river, but you can’t make it drink. That’s what Man City star Phil Foden said when he confirmed that his £40 million international teammate had chosen to join Arsenal over Man City, even though City tried very hard to persuade him to stay.
Arsenal and Manchester City are competing for more than just the title this year. It looks like they will also be competing for players.
Right now, both of the big clubs in the Premier League want to sign new players, and it looks like they might be in a race to sign young midfielder Noel Buck.
According to Tom Bogert of The Athletic, City and Arsenal are two teams that are interested in Buck right now.
Arsenal and Manchester City want Noel Buck.
Bogert of The Athletic says that the Gunners and City like the way Buck looks. The MLS team might be able to get him for a fee of between £4 and 7 million if he does decide to leave the New England Revolution.
Buck is only 18 years old, but he is already on the radar of England boss Gareth Southgate after getting a chance to play for the England under-19s. He could still play for the USA, of course.
The young playmaker is already being looked up to by many, as USMNT manager Gregg Berhalter has called him a “really strong” player.
“He was great. He’s been very strong. I’ve talked to him. People in England are interested, which I think is great. When a country like England looks at you, that’s a great accomplishment, Berhalter said.
“We’ve talked to him and told him that based on what he’s doing now, we think he’s good enough to make the 2026 World Cup team.” We can see that he’s improving quickly. If he keeps going that way, I’m sure he can be competitive and try to make the team.
Watch out for
It’s great when the best English teams compete for the best young players. This shows how far the MLS has come in recent years.
Several American players who came to England and made the jump have already done so, and it looks like Noel Buck could be the next one.
Moving to City or Arsenal would be great for him for sure. Both teams are very big and have a lot of history. Buck would be happy to sign with either of them.
