One of the finest and most consistent players in the Dutch top flight at the moment is Givairo Read, who continues to shine at Feyenoord, with Arsenal now interested in adding him to their squad.

It is somewhat surprising that he did not change clubs in the last transfer window, but that has given him the chance to perform well in this campaign. He has already provided four assists in his first seven league games in the Netherlands, underlining his importance to Feyenoord.

The defender is a top player who operates as a solid right back for his team and has delivered for them in domestic and continental football over the last few seasons.

Arsenal monitor Feyenoord defender

Arsenal already have two solid right backs, but Team Talk says they are challenging Manchester City for Read’s signature as they continue to strengthen their squad and make it as strong as possible.

The interest from Arsenal highlights the level Read has reached with his performances for Feyenoord. He has established himself as an important player for the Dutch club and continues to attract attention with his performances.

Read has been superb in the Netherlands, and if he continues to deliver at his current level, there is a strong possibility that this campaign could be his last season on the books of Feyenoord.

Read faces potential Premier League move

Feyenoord know it could be only a matter of time before the defender leaves, particularly with interest from clubs in the Premier League. His performances this season could further increase the attention surrounding his future.

Arsenal and Manchester City are now reportedly among the clubs interested in securing his signature. The competition for his services could therefore become an important factor when he considers his next move.

Read has continued to develop through his performances for Feyenoord, and his consistency has made him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen at right back. His four assists in the opening seven league games have also provided evidence of his attacking contribution.

It will be interesting to see which club Read eventually joins in the Premier League when this term ends. For now, he remains focused on Feyenoord, while his performances continue to attract attention from clubs looking to add quality to their squads.
