Arsenal has been in the running to sign Joshua Zirkzee for some time now, and the Gunners know that he has other clubs looking to sign him as well.
The Dutchman has been in fantastic form for Bologna in Serie A, making him one of the most sought-after players in Europe this season.
Juventus is another team keen to sign him, and the Italian side is a serious contender because his current manager could be their next coach.
However, the Old Lady will struggle to compete against Arsenal, who have more money and now have a new advantage in the race for his signature.
A report in Corriere dello Sport claims Arsenal’s secret weapon could be the relationship between Zirkzee’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, and Edu.
Both have a good friendship, which puts Arsenal ahead of the competition if the Gunners decide to act in their best interest.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Zirkzee has been arguably the most sought-after player in Serie A this season following his performance for Bologna.
The attacker will add some excitement to our forward line, however, is he prolific enough to play for us?
We have enough attackers in the group, and the profile we miss now is someone who can score as many goals as possible for us.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, please contact us through this link…
Censored once again, simply because Ad Pat refuses ro listen to opinions he does not like, nor recognise truth.
Jon. There is no reader on JA that doesn’t know you don’t like rumours. I am sick of your repeated rubbish comments. To emphasise…. IF YOU DONT LIKE RUMOURS THEN DONT BLOODY READ THEM… or at the least DONT COMMENT
But I am surely still entitled to my opinion? What I write is not fact, (in thecase of rumours) But why am I not entitled to write that I dont belive the obvious many extremely unlikely ones?
Just today alone, according to MARTIN we are possibly going to buy at least three players. How many hundreds of players deep does he think out squad is going to be!! If you are intent on silencing opinions that dont suit your JA agenda,(but not others) then you are deliberately against my right to give my own personal opinion.
But you never stop the regular anti MAbrigade from writing their own rubbush I note, with grim reality. As their comments start arguments and that means more posts and profits for JA.
YOU ARENOT BEING HONOURABLEPAT!!
Oh you complain about me letting fans with a different view posting. But what about the RUBBISH you write on a regular basis. I allow some of that don’t I?
You really need to understand that bot everyone has your narrow minded view Jon
Zirkzee has a poor conversion rate, and what, 11 goals in 30 some games?
Sorry that’s not good enough, certainly not better than what we already have. Don’t waste the money on a striker that is not a goal scorer.
We wont be doing, as all sensible fans know!
Not a fan. I think after his first season, Havertz must be considered the starting striker. He gives so much beyond just goals, and will only get more prolific in my opinion.
I think Martinelli needs to be transitioned to a striker. He is the best finisher at the club and will always accept the opportunity to shoot and offers a different threat to Havertz.
I think any striker brought in will be a backup, highly doubtful Arteta will bench Havertz after less than half a year playing as a striker.
Havertz has produced far more than Jesus or Nketiah in his limited chances, (did not deserve more chances frankly).
I expect Havertz to continue as first choice striker, and maybe a backup who is a finisher or a younger option.
Arteta and Edu should at least sign 4 players, we need a good hungry striker like Haaland, right winger to compete or serve as back up to Saka, right back to back up Ben white and Partey replacement in the middle.
