Transfer: ‘They’ve patience’ – Frank de Boer tells Joshua Zirkzee EPL club to join

Former Crystal Palace manager, Frank de Boer, has advised Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee to join Premier League club Arsenal instead of Manchester United, Inter Milan, or AC Milan this summer.

Zirkzee has been a standout for Bologna this season.

He netted 11 goals in Serie A and helped the club secure a fourth-place finish, earning them a spot in the Champions League.

Arsenal, seeking a new striker, have been closely monitoring Zirkzee’s performance.

However, they face stiff competition from Manchester United, AC Milan, and Serie A champions Inter Milan.

Speaking to Calciomercato, De Boer, a former Barcelona and Netherlands defender, said Arsenal would be the best fit for Zirkzee if he decides to move.

When asked which club would be better for Zirkzee to join this summer, De Boer said:

“I have great respect for Arsenal, they have patience, for example they had it with Arteta who didn’t start well.

“In some clubs, if it happens like this you are already out. And he has played very well in the last two years, Inter also play well.

“If I have to say someone I prefer Arsenal because they have the patience to wait for him and give him confidence.”
