Arsenal close to 43-goal signing – Arteta told splash £85M sign midfielder – Arsenal told to sign striker

Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news and gossip that we think you guys could have missed today –

Reporter Lee Wilmot suggests that Dusan Vlahovic would make a good option for Arsenal this summer window, as they continue to be linked with signing a new striker.

The transfer window has been open for a few days now and it will give Mikel Arteta the chance to delve into that transfer kitty once more and try to sign a striker that will bang in goals on a weekly basis.

ARSENAL have started the season in fine fashion and are once again in the hunt to try and win the Premier League title – but there is a feeling that they are missing that 25-goal a season forward.

That has led to constant rumours in the media linking the Gunners with a move for Vlahovic – who only moved to Juventus two summers ago – but has constantly been linked with a move away as he struggled to score the goals they wanted him too.

“Vlahovic was a name hugely linked in connection with signing for the Gunners in 2022 and has been regularly named in transfer windows since,” he writes on the Football.London website

“Having scored 44 goals in 109 Serie A games for Fiorentina, he decided instead to make a £66.6million move to Juventus over Arsenal

“Vlahovic netted 18 goals and provided three assists for Juve this season, added to the 14 goals and four assists in 2022/23. At just 24 years of age he could still be the perfect striker signing for Arteta to complete his squad this summer.

“It will be interesting to see how he and Serbia play against a more limited Slovenia side on Thursday and both Arteta and Edu and the scouts at Arsenal could be watching on interestedly to see how he plays.”

Vlahovic is a very good striker that could be a very good signing for ARSENAL – he is one of a number of options for Mikel Arteta – he could be a very good signing for the right price that is for sure.

GYOKERES TO ARSENAL?

Arsenal have received a transfer boost in their bid to sign Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres this summer.

Gyokeres has scored 43 goals in 50 outings for Sporting and is one of the form attacking players in European football this term, with many reports in the media suggesting that he could be sold in the coming transfer window.

Europe’s elite are queueing up to prise the Sweden international away from Lisbon after his stunning start to life with Sporting, and ARSENAL are one of the clubs that are desperate to delve into that transfer kitty and add a 30 goals a season forward to that attack

Benjamin Sesko seemed to be the number one transfer target for Arsenal – but he has reportedly made the decision to snub a move away from RB Leipzig this transfer window and stay put for at least another Bundesliga season

According to wild speculation created by Portuguese outlet Leonino, the Gunners are “very close” to landing Gyokeres, but the centre-forward would command a high fee as SunSport revealed Sporting will remain firm on their expensive valuation.

The North Londoners would want to negotiate a lower fee in the region of £50m-£60m, but Sporting are unwilling to let the Sweden international leave on the cheap.

He may be good enough for that Portuguese League – but he could really struggle to make the impact that he would like in the Premier League – it is another level.

Arsenal need a striker that could give the club different options – give them a chance of adding some more goals in a weekly basis and we are just not sure that Gyokeres is the man for that.

There are plenty of options for ARSENAL in the Premier League and we are sure that there are a few strikers that fans would love to see arrive. So paying £85 million may be far too much for the Gunners this transfer window.

ARSENAL TOLD TO SIGN SIMONS – 

Arsenal have been told to splash £85million for Paris Saint-Germain star Xavi Simons, who spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig.

The 21-year-old, after bagging 19 goals and eight assists during a loan at PSV Eindhoven last season, has racked up seven goals and 16 assists during his stint at RB Leipzig this season.

There has been talk that he will head back to parent club PSG at the end of the season to be given a chance in their squad – but that ha snot stopped speculation that a number of Premier League clubs will make a cheeky offer for the talented attacker.

Now – according to Bild, United, ARSENAL and Bayern Munich have all put Simons high on their transfer lists.

The Gunners are determined to continue building a superstar squad so they can go one better than the previous two seasons by lifting the Premier League title, but have been told to pay £85 million if they want to get a transfer deal done.

Amid all the speculation that Arsenal are interested in a deal for the attacker – Ruud Van Nistelrooy recently sang the praises of the exciting star: “Xavi Simons is in the spotlight, he is not a new discovery, but I think that he will continue to grow to a world-class level.

“I had him at PSV, now he is at Leipzig taking his next steps. I say that he is a player for a great team even as a starter.

“He has character, he is professional, he is focused on getting the most out of his potential.

“And then he has quality, he is very complete, he knows how to do many things well. He can dribble, he scores goals, he is great in transitions, he plays in small spaces. I see him as very complete.”
