Arsenal “watched” the signature of 82 million pounds Sterling Star

Ask for a Arsenal Fan where the team must improve this summer, and we believe that the majority would say the attack.

After all, Mikel Arteta On the end, second in the Premier League this season with the best defense but scored 17 less Goals that Liverpool champions and three less from the third place in Manchester City.

However, while the Northern Londoners seem to progress in the transactions to sign The tastes of Christian Norgaard And Christian MosqueraThey have not yet made significant grounds on a new winger or a new striker.

Fortunately, the club has now been linked to another central advantage, a world -class sniper who would be a better signature than Benjamin Sesko And Viktor.

Search for arsenal attackers

Arsenal tends to find itself involved in a sort of transfer saga every summer, Declan Rice being the subject two years ago and Mikel Merino last summer.

This year, the saga focused more on a position: an attacker.

Although there have been more than a handful of clubs related to the club in recent weeks and months, the two most important have been SESKO and Gyokerres.

The first was a long -term target for the artillerymen, but with reports suggesting that RB Leipzig now wants Between 80 and 100 million euros for himwhich represents around 68 million pounds sterling at 85 million pounds sterling, the interest of the North Londoners seems to have cooled.

At the same time, the latter is currently in open conflict with Sporting CP compared to an supposed gentleman agreement that the club broke, which in turn saw its price rise to 80 million pounds sterling, by certain reports.

With these present problems, it would be logical for the artillerymen to turn to other targets, which seems to be what is happening.

At least it is according to a recent report From Sami Mokbel of the BBC Sportwho revealed that Arsenal is actually interested in Julian Alvarez.

Speaking on the podcast of the Latte firm, the respected journalist said that the Northern Londoners had “examined” how they could conclude an agreement for the Atlético Madrid superstar this summer.

Unfortunately, Mokbel does not think it would be an agreement that the club is able to do, which could well be the case, because it only joined the Spanish giants for 82 million pounds sterling last summer, and according to the CIES football observatoryIt is now worth up to 125 million euros, or around 106 million pounds sterling.

That said, even if it would be a complicated and expensive transfer to make, it is an arsenal that should fight, because Alvarez would be a better signature than Sesko and Gyokerres.

How Alvarez compares himself to Sesko and Gyokerres

So, if we start by looking at the comparisons between Sesko and Alvarez, it is really quite simple to understand why the latter would be a better signature for Arsenal than the first, and that amounts almost entirely to their respective production.

For example, he does no 21 goals and provided six assists In 45 appearances, totaling 3,258 minutes, which is an average of a target or aid every 1.66 games or every 120.66 minutes.

However, even with impressive numbers such as those, it was less effective than Atlético Star.

In his 57 appearances for the Spanish giants, who totaled 3,967 minutes, the “best striker in the world”, as nicknamed by Argentinian journalist Roy Nemerbrand 29 goals and provided eight assistswhich comes out of a sublime average of a goal of a goal every 1.54 games, or every 107.21 minutes.

So agree, which would make the former Manchester City star a better signature than Gyokerres, which has finished this season with a transport of 54 goals and 13 assists In 52 games?

Well, in this case, the argument comes down to two reasons of locking: the level of opposition and its experience.

Regarding this first reason, the Portuguese League is currently classified as the 11th best of World football according to OPTAand worse than that, 11 of the 18 teams in It is considered as around the League a level. On the other hand, La Liga is the third best in the world.

Add to that the fact that the Swedish international has never played in a league among the first five, and the risk of signing it against someone with a winning experience in the Premier League becomes clear.

In the end, Arsenal must ensure that they sign the right striker this summer, and Alvarez seems to check all the boxes, even if it will be difficult to get him out of Madrid.
