The opportunity to join a big club like Arsenal could be quite exciting. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies in the coming season.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal come forward with an official offer to sign the player in the coming weeks. They have the resources to get the deal done, and convincing the player to join them should not be too difficult either.

Regular football in England could help the 20-year-old improve further. Arsenal have done well to nurture young players, and they could play a key role in his development. Gasiorowski could develop into a top-class Premier League defender with the right guidance.

If Arsenal can sign the player for a reasonable amount of money in the summer, the deal could look like a major bargain in the long term.
