Arsenal looking at 85 million pounds sterling for the “New Mbappe”

It’s not difficult to determine this Arsenal The most important need area this summer is above.

While Mikel Arteta Squad could certainly do with more options widely and even in the midfield, the addition of a new attacker to the team could make the difference between the line or end another campaign without major Argentia next season.

After all, the Northern Londoners produced the best defense of Premier league this year but Only the third best attackThis helps to explain the abundance of links with higher quality strikers who have been impossible to ignore in recent weeks and months.

One of these scorers has greatly praised for a move to the Emirates was ViktorBut if we believe recent reports, the club could now look at someone else, someone who would be a even better signature.

Search for arsenal attackers

Given the aforementioned lack of arsenal goals this season, it is not a surprise to see the club linked to a plethora of potentially revolutionary attackers this summer, like Benjamin Sesko and Ollie Watkins.

The first could be available For about 68 million pounds sterling and accumulated a count of 27 Involvement of objectives in 45 games This season, while the latter could cost 40 million pounds sterling and product 17 goals and 14 assists in 54 Games for Aston Villa.

On the other hand, it is not quite clear how Gyokerers could cost the Northern Londoners, as according to his Fall with sports cp Board on a supposed gentleman agreement, reports have emerged by saying that he could cost as much, Otherwise more than 68 million pounds sterling.

Uncertainty around the Swedish international could sign it particularly complicated this summer, and although it is not ideal, fans should not be too worried, because it now seems that the Northern Londoners are considering another forward, someone who would be a better signature than the former Coventry City star, Hugo Ekitiké.

Yes, according to a recent report of German publication BildArsenal is now interested in the star of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The report revealed that French is now a serious option for the Gunners and that if Gyokerres or Sesko are too expensive or difficult to sign, their interest in the 23 year old will only grow.

However, there is a problem: the German outfit wants 100 million euros for its star attacker, who is around 85 million pounds sterling.

This could be a complicated and expensive transfer to overcome the line, but given the capacity and potential of Ekitike, it is an arsenal that should fight, even if it ends up costing more than gyoker, because we think it would be the best signature despite everything.

Why Ekitiké would be a better signature than Gyokerres

Now it is easy to understand why Arsenal could want to sign Gyokerres this summer, because its form at Sporting is nothing less than miraculous in the past two years.

For example, since he joined the Portuguese giants in the summer of 2023, the dynamo born in Stockholm has marked 97 goals and provided 28 assists In 102 appearances, which comes out of a frankly absurd average of 1.22 objective objective per game.

If anything, figures like that make it difficult to believe that any other striker in world football would be a better signature for the Gunners this season, but there is a massive warning regarding the Swedish monster numbers, which is the league in which he played.

Although the tastes of Sporting, Benfica and Porto are all considered to be “big” clubs, the global level of the Portuguese elite is relatively mediocre.

Actually, According to the Opta analystIt is the eighth best League in world football, behind the Belgian Pro League and the championship.

In addition, depending on the same date, 11 of the 18 teams of the Competition is the level of the one or less league, which makes it difficult to measure the way Gyokerers would do in the Premier League, especially when he has never played a minute in one of the best leagues in Europe, despite 27 years.

On the other hand, Ekititiké made 52 appearances at Ligue 1 and 47 In the Bundesliga, and this season, it was incredibly effective in directing the line.

In 48 appearances, totaling 3,644 minutes, the 23 year old jewel, which Journalist Graeme Bailey Once nicknamed the “next Mbappé”, marked 22 goals and provided 12 assistswhich comes out of a brilliant average of 1.41 objective of involvement per match.

Now is it apparently less effective than Gyokerers? Yes, but not only does he set up large figures in a European league among the first, but he does so at a relatively young age.

Consequently, Arsenal may feel more assured of the type of production they can expect from Ekitike while anticipating additional improvement in the coming years, and this is the main reason why it would be a better signature than the sports star.
