Mikel Arteta would have been smart to keep a keen eye on the Paris 2024 Olympics as Arsenal continue to bolster their squad.
With football at the Games now in the semi-final stages, the Spanish boss has had ample opportunity to scout the talent on display. The Gunners have already secured their first two summer signings. David Raya joined permanently from Brentford for a fee of £27million, while Riccardo Calafiori arrived from Bologna for £42m last week.
However, if Arsenal are to finally topple Manchester City, additional reinforcements will be needed. Now several young talents have made their mark in the French capital, we now take a look at some potential signings Arsenal could make.
Samu Omorodion
Arteta’s hunt for a dedicated No.9 to spearhead his Arsenal attack is well documented. Gabriel Jesus, who has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, hasn’t managed to cement the position as his own, while Kai Havertz isn’t a natural centre-forward, reports the Express.
Ivan Toney, Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak have all been linked with a move to the Emirates, but a less costly option in the form of Atletico Madrid’s Samu Omorodion, could solve that issue. He is currently representing Spain at the Games and was unsuccessfully targeted by Enzo Maresca’s Blues in June.
