Arsenal is in a really good spot right now, with a chance to win two big trophies. It feels like this is just the start for the Gunners. Under the leadership of Mikel Arteta and Edu, Arsenal has assembled a squad filled with exceptional talent, alongside a remarkable display of character and work ethic. Their impressive performance has put them in the running for the Premier League title and a chance to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Yet, there is no hint of complacency within the Gunners camp. With summer just around the corner, it’s looking more and more likely that we’ll see some exciting signings. Arsenal’s pursuit of Netherlands international Joshua Zirkzee, who is often compared to Highbury legend Dennis Bergkamp, has received a significant boost. According to reports from Tuttosport, Arsenal is reportedly considering making a move for Zirkzee due to his impressive performances for Serie A side Bologna in the upcoming transfer window.
There have been some connections between the Gunners and Zirkzee in the past. However, it seems like the player is unsure about going back to Bayern Munich, his former club, where he has a €40 million (£34 million) clause. There’s just something about Bayern Munich that makes it an irresistible destination for any player. On the other hand, Zirkzee’s hesitance to return to the Allianz Arena might make things easier for Arsenal in their pursuit of the skilled forward. It could remove a potential hurdle in their transfer plans.

Zirkzee is an absolute force on the field, with a ton of untapped potential just waiting to be unleashed. Many have compared his playing style to that of Bergkamp. Former Italy international Francesco Graziani noting the similarities between the two. Graziani praises Zirkzee’s impressive technical skills and ability to find the back of the net. In addition, journalist Suleyman Ozturk has made some strong statements about Zirkzee’s skills. He has suggested that he outshines Erling Haaland from Manchester City in almost every way, although he may not have the same imposing presence.
Considering the hefty price tag of £50 million, Zirkzee could be a compelling option for Arsenal to consider. With his impressive skill set and potential, this player is an exciting prospect for the Gunners. He has drawn comparisons to a club legend, adding to the excitement as Arsenal looks to bolster their squad for future endeavours. Arsenal’s interest in Joshua Zirkzee shows their determination to strengthen their team with high-quality players. As we approach the summer transfer window, Arsenal is gearing up to make some smart moves that will boost their chances of success in both domestic and European competitions.
What did Arteta say?
Mikel Arteta said after the game against Bayern Munich: “It was a really intense match. I think we started really well. We started to dominate it, to play in the opponents’ half and we generated some momentum, scored a really good goal with B. And there obviously was the moment in the match when Ben White is in front of Neuer to make it 2-0 and then the game and the tie changes quickly. We didn’t [score] and then unfortunately today, we have given two very poor goals away and against a team with that individual quality, they’re going to punish you. The team reacted really well. It is because the game can become very chaotic and you can start to lose some discipline and start to allow them to run, and in that moment, you can lose the tie.”
