BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal has signed a top striker for £200,000 per week, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. This move is praised as a smart decision that could enhance the club’s success.
Arsenal is reportedly ready to offer a substantial weekly salary of £200,000 to attract a high-profile player to North London. The club has been in ongoing discussions about this potential signing, with plans to bring the player on board during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Edu, Arsenal’s sporting director, is seeking a new striker. Recently, Mikel Arteta’s squad has displayed impressive scoring capabilities in domestic competitions. Their recent 2-1 victory over Brentford highlighted their offensive strengths, with the team scoring a total of 33 goals in their last eight Premier League matches.
This impressive scoring record is likely to put pressure on competitors like Liverpool and Manchester City in the title race.
Despite Kai Havertz’s solid performances, rumors suggest that Arsenal’s management is considering additional striker options to further enhance their attack.
Currently, Bukayo Saka leads Arsenal’s goal tally this season with thirteen goals, followed by Kai Havertz with eight, and Leandro Trossard with seven. Declan Rice, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel each have six goals.
Arsenal is determined to strengthen their striking options in the next transfer window and has been linked with several top players.
Ivan Toney, the Brentford striker, is frequently associated with the club, along with Victor Osimhen from Napoli. Journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that despite potential financial challenges, Arsenal remains a strong contender for Osimhen’s signature.
Jacobs recently mentioned that Arsenal is still in the race for Osimhen. While Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) also shows interest, Osimhen reportedly prioritizes the Premier League, favoring clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal.
Osimhen has established himself as one of Serie A’s top scorers and is expected to be highly sought after in the upcoming transfer window. His new contract with Napoli includes a release clause of £113 million, which Edu and his team are likely evaluating.
Footballwave reports ongoing negotiations between Arsenal and Osimhen, with the club prepared to offer a significant weekly wage to secure his services. Given Osimhen’s impressive record, investing in the 25-year-old striker could be advantageous for Arsenal.
Since joining Napoli from Lille, he has consistently demonstrated his goal-scoring abilities, tallying 72 goals in 125 appearances across all competitions. For a player of his caliber, the reported release clause seems reasonable.
