Juventus striker Alvaro Morata is reportedly very close to signing for Arsenal this summer.
The Spain international is described as being very close to a surprise move to Arsenal, according to Sport, citing non-specific sources in England, with a deal expected to cost around £25million.
Morata has won the Champions League twice in his career, and has often looked a decent player in spells with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Juventus, where he’s been on loan.
Still, it seems a bit surprising that Arsenal are suddenly closing in on a deal for Morata, as they’ve mostly been strongly linked with Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus by the Evening Standard and others.
Morata has also not exactly impressed in a previous spell in the Premier League, having flopped in his time with Chelsea.
Most Arsenal fans would surely agree that Jesus would be a better option, or someone like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who’s been linked with the club by Goal.
No way Hosay! Nketia,Jesus and recharlson will do nicely! With Tielmans in midfield and saliba defence also quality additions😎👍
He better not be coming or he can get in his morata and go straight back.
proven bot up to prem hustle+bustle.
more concerning is the thought that the permafrown that is Richarlison might join or sadly DCL Crock
I think Nketia has a lot of room to learn from a huge striker like morata
The difference is the simirality
Licharison is better
Victor Osimhen will be a good addition, but if we can’t get VO then I’d go for Alvaro Morata over Gebriel Jesus.
There they go again stingy bastards trying to get a cheap has been bargain instead of paying out decent money for a decent striker like jesus come on pay the bloody money and get jesus Morata
is shit no good a has been we won’t b very happy with morata anyway I thought the kronkes were suppose to b backing us on transfers,don’t look like if they won’t pay the money for jesus and who ever else we want to sign
