At last we have got an Arsenal transfer rumour that sounds exciting AND believable, as it is being reported that Arsene Wenger is considering a move for the AZ Alkmaar striker Vincent Janssen who has scored an amazing 26 goals in 33 games in the Eredvisie, in his first season in the top flight in Holland.
Jannsen has also earned his first two caps for the national side and made a dream debut on his first international start, with Holland beating England 2-1 and Janssen scoring and providing an assist. Previously he has been involved with the international set up from as young as 15 up to making 10 appearances for the Under 21’s and scoring a not untidy 8 goals for them.
Previously prolific Dutch strikers have had mixed results after moving to the Premier League, but I am sure Arsene Wenger would be very keen to get such a freescoring centre-forward, especially after watching some of our insipid performances this season. If Janssen is given free rein I am certain he will easily outshine Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud’s performances this year.
He is young at 21 and has years ahead of him. He is supremely confident and has a great future ahead of him, and you can bet your bottom dollar that Arsenal will get him at a bargain price from Alkmaar.
Go get him Arsene!
