Arsenal are ‘ready to go crazy’ for the signing of a €70m-rated Serie A striker, while Mikel Arteta has confirmed the club are considering bringing a readymade attacker back to north London through a loan recall.
The Gunners sit six points behind Liverpool in the Premier League table, with the Reds also boasting a game in hand. Wasteful finishing has dogged Arsenal at various points throughout the season and the issue is under more scrutiny than ever at present.
Gabriel Jesus has been sidelined with a season-ending ACL injury and Bukayo Saka remains out after undergoing surgery to repair a hamstring problem.
Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard have become lightning rods for criticism in recent weeks, while Arsenal as yet have failed to address their glaring need for new attackers in the January transfer window.
It’s claimed Arsenal are ‘ready to go crazy’ for the €70m-rated (£59m) striker who’s bagged 19 goal contributions in 20 Serie A matches this term.
The 27-year-old would represent a readymade option capable of making an instant impact at the Emirates. Accordingly, and with Arsenal desperate to overhaul Liverpool in the EPL, the report claimed ‘Mikel Arteta would like to bring Thuram to the Premier League right away.’
Thuram will be vital to Inter’s attempts to win both competitions and as such, it’s strongly suggested a summer move stands a far greater chance of succeeding.
Nonetheless, Arsenal won’t get a definitive answer as to whether Inter will sell until they lodge a bid. Furthermore, the report stressed Inter may find it difficult to turn down such a lucrative bid given they signed Thuram for free 18 months ago.
