Arsenal are reportedly showing interest in signing Martin Terrier in the January transfer window. Tottenham are also monitoring the situation of the young French striker.
However, Rennes are demanding a fee of 31 million for their star striker. Although, there is a possibility that Leeds United and Newcastle United will also revive their last summer transfer window interest.
ARSENAL AND MARTIN TERRIER TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are showing interest in Rennes striker Martin Terrier in the January transfer window. However, the report also claims that the Gunners will first complete the Mykhaylo Mudryk transfer. The report also claims that many Premier League teams showed interest in him in the last summer transfer window. However, he decided to sign an improved contract with the Ligue 1 club. Although, despite this, the rumors refuse to leave him.
The report also claims that Arsenal sees him as a replacement for the injured Gabriel Jesus. Hence, it looks like Mikel Arteta is actively trying to find competition for the striker spot. At the moment, Eddie Nketiah is the only recognized fit striker in the squad. He has also scored in the boxing day game against West Ham United. However, Mikel Arteta wants squad depth for the remainder of the season. He does not want to lose the grip gained in the first half of the season.
THE OTHER TOP PREMIER LEAGUE SIDES ARE ALSO MONITORING THE SITUATION
A report also claims that Tottenham, Chelsea, and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation. Hence, Arsenal are facing serious competition for his signature. The report also claims that Rennes are demanding 31 million for his signature. However, the amount will likely increase due to the competition for his signature. A report also claims that the Ligue 1 side hopes to keep the player until the end of the season. Hence, the interested teams will also have to manage the selling teams expectations.
However, there is one thing clear that all 4 interested sides need a center-forward in the January transfer window. Manchester United needs a striker to replace the outgoing Cristiano Ronaldo. Arsenal are looking for a replacement of the injured Gabriel Jesus. Whereas, Chelsea and Tottenham are also dealing with injury issues of their own. Spurs are missing Richarlison during the busy schedule. Whereas, Chelsea will miss Armando Broja for the rest of the season.
Hence, it is clear that Martin Terrier has all the best clubs chasing his signature. Many football experts and pundits have also called him one of the best young strikers in Europe. Therefore, Rennes have done the right thing by preserving his transfer value. Therefore, there is a chance that a deal will happen in the next summer transfer window and not in January.
