Weinhandl has nailed down a regular starting berth in central midfield this campaign, racking up close to 1,000 minutes across 13 outings while contributing a goal and an assist. Brighton, along with several Bundesliga and Serie A clubs, are also credited with interest, though Sturm Graz are unlikely to let him leave for anything less than roughly \u00a320 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Why the Premier League Interest?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Arsenal\u2019s pursuit makes sense on paper. Despite bringing in Bruno Guimaraes over the summer, Martin Zubimendi\u2019s role has diminished sharply, and with Mikel Merino now past 30, Mikel Arteta will want a long-term option who can eventually take the reins in the engine room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Aston Villa\u2019s logic is similarly sound. John McGinn and Ross Barkley are both the wrong side of 30, and Unai Emery has shown a clear appetite for developing versatile, hard-working midfielders who can chip in offensively without compromising defensive discipline \u2014 a profile that fits Weinhandl neatly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Newcastle, meanwhile, have already reshaped their midfield this year with Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba arriving to fill the void left by Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. Joelinton\u2019s persistent fitness troubles leave Matthias Jaissle short of depth, so a teenager with upside would be a sensible long-term addition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>A Worthwhile Gamble?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Personally, I\u2019d argue Newcastle hold the edge here \u2014 their pathway to first-team football looks clearer than at Arsenal or Villa right now. Twenty million pounds is a hefty outlay for an unproven 17-year-old, but if even half the hype around Weinhandl is accurate, this could prove shrewd business for whoever wins the race.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Start Tags --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- End Tags -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- End Content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7066598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113955,140161,227881,101887,100975],"tags":[54178,77238,11350,24154,30712,227882,18013,227883,9148,21825,227884,133792],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-7066597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal","category-aston-villa","category-luca-weinhandl","category-newcastle-united","category-premier-league","tag-arsenal","tag-aston","tag-chase","tag-graz","tag-luca","tag-luca-weinhandl","tag-newcastle","tag-sturm","tag-united","tag-villa","tag-weinhandl","tag-wonderkid"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
