With no match this weekend for Arsenal, there is less stories to throw about, so why not bring you an update of the latest speculation regarding our club’s future transfers…
Alvaro Morata is hardly a new name to be linked with our club, but the latest is that he has supposedly issued Real Madrid an ultimatum, that he is guaranteed first-team action or he will leave the club for pastures new… How true the story is, is undetermined…
Andrea Belotti is another striker on our supposed wishlist, and we are claimed to have scouts watching him last night, where he bagged himself a brace to help Torino snatch a 2-2 draw away to Fiorentina, having been 2-0 down at the mid-way point. It would be difficult not to be impressed by his outing…
Another goalscorer being linked with a possible summer move to the Emirates this summer is 19 year-old Henry Onyekuru, who is currently impressing in the Belgian Pro League. The winger has bagged himself 14 goals in all competitions so far this term, and has said that he is looking to move clubs at the end of the season, with Seville, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal all strongly linked. One problem could be his nationality, with the Nigerian yet to venture onto the international scene, which could prove problematic in acquiring a work permit.
Back to Serie A now, where we are linked with two Napoli stars this summer, with one claimed to be Arsenal’s ‘No. 1 target’ in Lorenzo Insigne, as well as Faouzi Ghoulam. The left-back role is one we have been looking at for some time now, with Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs failing to impress this term, and with the Spaniard not getting any younger also.
Insigne on the other hand could be lined up as a potential replacement for either Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil, with the pair both yet to sign extended deals. The attacking midfielder is known to have fallen out with his club over contract negotiations, and he may well be destined to leave this summer.
Which player would be most suited to Arsenal? Could any of these targets join us this summer?
