A striker Fabrizio Romano has confirmed is one of two confirmed targets for the summer prefers joining the Gunners over Manchester United, though why a deal still isn’t straightforward has been revealed by a report.
Arsenal’s need for a potent new striker has become painfully clear as the season has rolled on. The Gunners did attempt to sign a frontman in the winter window, with a bid totalling £60m tabled for Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins.
Watkins would ultimately stay at Villa amid the club’s complete unwillingness to sell after already offloading Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr.
But per transfer guru Romano, Arsenal also looked into moves for Alexander Isak (Newcastle) and Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) who remain confirmed targets for the summer.
