To support their offense this summer, Arsenal is looking for a Premier League champion. Side operations of Mikel Arteta follow a one-in, one-out approach. Riccardo Calafiori has been brought in and they are waiting for player sales to make further actions. Their first summer sale, the Gunners sold Emile Smith Rowe for £34 million. Next they want to sell Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson. Nelson is looking for a fresh challenge and draws attention from other Premier League teams; Nketiah has a £30 million price tag.
Arsenal Now Wants To Sign £65m Premier League Striker Instead Of Gyokeres
Arsenal seeks 19-goal scorer Dominic Solanke, who enjoyed an outstanding season with Bournemouth. Former Chelsea player Solanke made up the 2016/2017 title-winning team. With a £65 million release clause, his contract with Bournemouth runs three more years.
According to reports, Arsenal resorted to Solanke after declining to pay for Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting CP. Although Solanke is not wanted sold by Bournemouth, his release clause allows a transfer to be made. Solanke may be less expensive than either Gyokeres or Victor Osimhen, both connected to the Gunners.
Does Solanke suit Arsenal the best? Although his recent form shows promise, his capacity to produce regularly at a major club remains under doubt. To challenge for the Premier League championship, Arsenal needs a dependable striker. Although Solanke’s Premier League experience might be useful, his performance at Bournemouth does not ensure the same influence at Arsenal.
Gyokeres and Osimhen have somewhat diverse features in contrast. Gyokeres is physically powerful and aggressive; Osimhen offers speed and goal-scoring ability. Solanke’s benefit is his English football experience; Arsenal has to ask if he can match his Bournemouth form at a higher level.
Arsenal has to make a very important choice. They need a constantly delivering attacker. Although Solanke’s possible action might pay off, it is a risk. Arsenal’s aspirations call for a proven goal-scorer, and Solanke’s past points to him maybe being such player, but only time will tell.
