Arsenal transfer reports of Alexander Isak have again had the fans thinking if the move is going to happen or not. They have been in a search of a big game player for a very long time now. This move would definitely make the squad strong.
Arsenal Transfer: Top Center Forward
Isak has been in a red hot form. Outstanding performances against big Premier League sides has made him a fan favorite. Though Arteta’s current squad is very good and balanced, they need a player for the big occasions. The team needs a proper centre forward. The disappointing 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final has made it more clearer.
The Gunners have told that it’d cost around €115m to sign the Newcastle star. They can’t afford a British record transfer fee, despite in apparent need of a new No.9. Eddie Howe suggests that the situation is complex.
Arsenal Transfer Targets
Reports suggests along with Isak, to everyone’s surprise Rashford has been added to the list as Utd want to sell some high earners. Utd has valued him at €25m. If the reports are said to be true, the chase for the player is going to be wild.
Strange things happen in football, but this one would be unlikely for Marcus to move to a direct rival considering that other clubs have also keen to sign him. With the given price tag, it would be exciting to see which club makes the final move. His current contract is till the 2028. Due to high wages this move might surely take place.
Mbeumo has also caught an eye of the Gunner’s. His performances from the last season and the current one has impressed many clubs. Since scoring 13 Premier League goals in 23 appearances already this season, other top teams are also interested.
Brentford don’t want to let go him this month. They can also extend his contract by 12 months which will make him stay with them till 2027. Manchester Utd are also in the race to sign him.
Jorginho Leaving This Summer
Jorginho is considering to leave as his contract expires this summer. In his 69 appearances he has scored once. Out of Arsenal’s 30 matches so far, he has only played 820 minutes this season. His agent has already contacted Brazilian club Palmeiras to negotiate. The midfielder would be willing to accept one of two teams from Brazil. Flamengo could be his other potential club.
With Mikel Merino arriving in August 2024, Jorginho has been getting a very few minutes of game time. He’s not the player for duels, heavy interceptions but he controls the flow of the game with his clean passing. He was one of the top midfielders in Europe in the 2021/2022 campaign. Not only led Chelsea to their Champions League triumph but captaining Italy to Euro’s win.
Roma Captain Pellegrini To Arsenal
Lorenzo Pellegrini could be on the move in this transfer window, Arsenal keeping their tabs on him. According to La Repubblica, an Italian publication, the Gunners planning to strengthen their midfield. Thomas Partey’s contract expires at the end of this season. To fill his position, the Gunners are ready for a signing. Serie A teams like Napoli and Inter Milan are also joining the race.
He has been a solid leader in Roma’s dressing room. His passion can be seen on the pitch. Since his return in 2017, he has 55 goals and 58 assists in 302 Serie A appearances.
