Arsenal ready sign £60M Premier League star ‘could be great signing’ for Gunners

ARSENAL are still considering Ollie Watkins as their statement summer striker signing, and he could be a very good signing for Mikel Arteta’s squad this transfer window.

Arsenal once again failed to win that Premier League season, despite a very impressive campaign for Gunners fans to watch, while they also failed to win any of the cup competitions that they were also in.

That has led to many reports in the media that Mikel Arteta is desperate to to improve the side and add a new striker to that attack, with many reports in the media claiming that Benjamin Sesko is the forward the Spaniard wants.

Arsenal are said to have entered talks with RB Leipzig over a deal for Benjamin Sesko, while they remain strongly linked with prolific Sporting Lisbon talisman Viktor Gyokeres.

But according to The Athletic, another move for Watkins this summer has not been discounted at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners made a shock late move to sign the England international back in the January transfer window, only to see a £60m bid firmly rebuffed as Aston Villa sold fellow forward Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘Watkins is a proven Premier League player that can score 20-30 goals a season when he is fit, there have been calls for many seasons from ARSENAL fans that he should be signed, but the money has always been too high.

‘However – Arteta is desperate to sign a striker that suite the style of play that he likes to employ, and the way that Watkins plays, the desire that he shows, he would be a brilliant addition to that Gunners squad.

‘Aston Villa dont want to sell Watkins, but if the money is right, they Arsenal could very well get a deal done for Watkins

‘And to be honest, there are quite a few Arsenal fans that would like to see the player arrive too.’
