"It would be a dream for me" - 23-year-old defender expresses desire to play for Arsenal in the future
23-year-old right-back Oliver Sonne has expressed his desire to play for Arsenal in the years to come. The highly rated Silkeborg defender has admitted that he wants to play for the Gunners one day.
The Danish-born Peru international has also expressed his desire to play in the Italian Serie A. The young defender said, as quoted by The Boot Room:
“I would like to play in the Italian league or at Arsenal. It would be a dream for me, but I don’t know if it’s possible at the moment. I hope it can become a reality one day."
Oliver Sonne is naturally a right-back who is also capable of playing at left-back or even as a central midfielder. He has also been deployed on the flanks occasionally, showcasing his tremendous versatility.
The Peru international has been impressive for Danish Superliga side Silkeborg, who finished sixth in the table this season. He has contributed with three goals and four assists in 31 games across competitions this campaign.
Sonne's versatility certainly makes him a player who could catch the eye of big clubs from across Europe in the years to come. With Mikel Arteta at the helm at Arsenal, Sonne could certainly fulfil his dream if he manages to impress the scouts of the north London giants.
