Despite another close call with Manchester City for the Premier League championship, Arsenal supporters have every cause to be happy these days. Once unable to make the Europa League, Mikel Arteta has turned the squad into regular championship contenders. Bringing in players like Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Gabriel Jesus, Arteta has put together a team full of quality. Young talents like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka have also received his nurturing.
It seems now like Arsenal may be about to make another big acquisition. According to reports, Vitor Roque, a Brazilian youth, is very interested in joining Arsenal. The January arrival at Barcelona, Roque, is allegedly dissatisfied with his little playing time and the club’s lack of contact. This has created the opportunity for a departure from Catalonia, and Arsenal could be prepared to take advantage. Arsenal would think the deal possible given the release clause, which is set at almost £42 million.
Considering that other teams like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Roque, a possible move to North London might be difficult. Arsenal may, however, have an advantage in talks because of their substantial Brazilian presence. Even although £42 million is a large amount, given Martinelli’s performance, the investment may be beneficial.
Arsenal Want To Bring In This €40m Striker
The CIES Football Observatory estimates Martinelli’s worth to have soared to nearly €100 million after joining Arsenal in 2019 for a meager £6 million. For the club, this makes his move a big success. Should Roque continue on this path, the investment will be well worth it.
Many qualities are shared by Roque and Martinelli. Young attackers, both are lively and energetic. Much as Martinelli is generally a winger but can play down the middle, Roque is primarily a center-forward but has experience playing out wide. Both players also had a big influence in Brazil before to moving to Europe, which suggests a bright future.
Potentially adding Roque to Arsenal’s squad might improve their offensive options even further and carry on the pattern of astute, young acquisitions made under Arteta’s direction. As Arsenal builds on its previous achievements, supporters should anticipate an exciting future.
