RB Salzburg coach Marsch admits likely 'winter sale' for Arsenal target Szoboszlai

RB Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch says Dominik Szoboszlai will be sold in January.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is still keen to sign another midfielder having already brought in Thomas Partey in the summer.

Reports claim Arsenal have already opened talks with Szoboszlai regarding a move in 2021, though Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also keen.

Asked if the Hungary international will be sold, Marsch told the Futbol podcast: “Yes.

"The reality is that a guy like Dominik Szoboszlai is likely to have many suitors this winter.

“He's an incredible talent.

"When you coach young players, you have to love them and love the fact that they're going to move on.

"[You have to] love that they're going to have big opportunities to prove themselves and show how good they are.

“If you're only worried about how it affects your success, then you're not really going to eve be effective at coaching and leading young people.

“So with a guy like Dominik, I mean, I want him to show everybody in the world how good he is.

“So let's see what happens, but I would be surprised if he winds up staying past winter.

“We play with teenagers, and of course when they do well a lot of clubs get really excited."
