Rumour has it that last season Dutch talent Noa Lang set an ultimatum to the executives of Ajax: it’s either me or (team captain) Dusan Tadic. Rumour follows that board and management of the Amsterdam giants simply sent Lang on loan to Club Brugge and thus expressed their preference.Regardless of rumours – Lang is having an incredible time in Belgium. After his impressive loan spell with Brugge last season, before making the move permanent, Lang scored 16 goals in 29 league appearances.Also, the mid-September Champions League match between PSG and Club Brugge showed what a talent Lang is. The 22-year-old was a menace for Saints’ defenders and has imposed himself to the footballing publics as one of the biggest prospects of European football – he even won the ‘man of the match’ award in a match which was Lionel Messi’s French giant’s Champions League debut.##NAJAVA_MECA_5890507##No wonder much bigger clubs are after Lang’s signature. Among them – north London re-and-whites.Even Club Brugge boss Philippe Clement said that Arsenal have the green light to seal a January move for Lang.According to Voetbal24, the Gunners are preparing a 35 million USD offer for the Dutch winger in the upcoming transfer window, which should make him Mikel Arteta’s first winter signing of the ongoing season.However, Arsenal face stiff competition from AC Milan and Leeds United for Lang’s signature.Last season, Lang was named the Belgian Pro League’s young player of the season which is more than enough to catch the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.Noa Lang literally exists =Dpic.twitter.com/y5pufPPicn— Aniket (@SweeperKeeperMN) October 10, 2021 Brugge head coach Clement says it would be “impossible to refuse” an offer that meets their 35 million USD valuation, opening the door for Arsenal to make their move.“He has done well, but they were also good matches to debut in.” Clement said.“I am realistic when it comes to these things. If an impossible to refuse offer comes in for him, we won’t be able to stop him in January.“I’d rather he finishes the season, takes a title and is important, but we’ll see what happens in January.”According to the player’s agent Bart Baving – Lang has also drawn comparisons with Neymar following his excellent display against PSG. “Noa is Noa, he has always had this type of playing style.”, Baving told Calciomercato, via HITC.We will see Neymar around for some time, Pochettino believes“He always works hard and has excellent technique, dribbling and vision. He is also an excellent decision-maker and a neat finisher. He is also a generous player, anything but selfish.”I’ve heard a lot of people say he looks like Neymar, especially after the PSG match.”Lang’s performances led to him receiving his first international cap for the Netherlands earlier this month – Louis van Gaal introduced Lang to Dutch national football during their 1-0 victory over Latvia.
