During the summer transfer window, Arsenal is expected to be very busy as Mikel Arteta tries to finish off his team.
.
The Gunners have had a great season. On Tuesday night, they beat Chelsea 5-0 to keep their chances of winning the Premier League title alive.
Gunners have been getting better since Arteta took over in late 2019, and the future looks even better for the team.
The attack is one place where Arsenal could improve. There are many places on the field where Arsenal can score goals, but they could use an all-around scorer.
Now, a story from Italy says that Arsenal has started the process of trying to sign one of Serie A’s best attackers.
According to Tuttosport, the Gunners have started talking to Kia Joorabchian about Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee, who is said to be the player they want the most.
According to the story, Arsenal has made an offer for a five-year deal worth €6 million plus bonuses. That’s about £99,000 a week.
Arsenal wants to sign Zirkzee and will work hard in the next few weeks to beat out teams like Juventus and AC Milan.
What has been said about Joshua Zirkzee, who Arsenal wants?
If this is true, it’s very good news. Arsenal looks like they are making a strong move to get Zirkzee, who has scored 12 goals and set up seven others for Bologna this season.
The 22-year-old is a great player with a lot of potential, so it’s not a surprise that teams like Arsenal are interested in signing him.
People have even said that the Bologna player is like Arsenal great Dennis Bergkamp, which will almost certainly make Gunners fans very happy.
In December, Francesco Graziani, a former Italy player, told Bologna Sport News, “Technically he is very good and has shown that he sees the goal.”
“I see the Dutch artist Dennis Bergkamp in Zirkzee. He had a way of making your eyes shine with his skill.”
Thiago Motta, the manager of Bologna, has called Zirkzee “a player with extraordinary qualities” and “very talented.”
To get a player like the famous Highbury maestro, he’ll cost £50 million, which is a lot of money. But it seems like it was well worth it.
