Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Getafe striker Borja Mayoral.
According to a report from Football Insider, they are looking to sign the player this month and he could be available on a bargain.
Arsenal have reportedly had an offer turned down for the player during during the summer transfer window, but a release clause is now active in his contract which would allow him to leave for £17 million.
The 26-year-old has been outstanding for the Spanish club this season, scoring 14 goals across all competitions and Arsenal would do well to secure his services.
Signing him for £17 million would represent an excellent bargain for the Premier League club and he could improve them going forward.
Arsenal need to sign a reliable goalscorer and Mayoral certainly fits the profile.
He could prove to be an upgrade on Gabriel Jesus, who has scored just three goals in the Premier League this season.
Arsenal need more goals in their attack if they want to win the league title this season and signing a quality striker in January could transform them and help them finish the season strongly.
The 26-year-old La Liga striker could be attracted to the idea of playing for a big club like Arsenal, especially when they are offering him the platform to compete for the Premier League title.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal decide to trigger his release clause in the coming days.
Arsenal is the best team in the world but thay no’t have interlgent manager
Arsenal chiefs have no ambition to improve or win the league. They will not trigger anything. Even if Arsenal boys are about to win the league Arteta will force them to change their style of play so that they will start to lose matches. Let all concerns watch this scenario closely. This has been on for some seasons now.
Arsenal scouting staff is the cause of all the trouble. So much has been spent on buying unproven players or Chelsea flops: Havertz and Vieira for 100M???? Now they are stuck with FFP!!!!
Lokonga, Tavares, Marquinhos are all fringe unproven players. Either the scouting is poor or Kroenke is the issue.
Without reinforcements especially in the midfield and defence, we will continue to lose games especially with Arteta’s reluctance to play Rice and Partey together int the midfield when the latter is available. Our attack is missing Partey and Xhaka very badly.
I’m very embarassed Arteta doesn’t recognize this fact. Havertz has been traumatized by the PL ever since moving in from Germany. Arteta must stop relying on him as a Xhaka replacement. I think Zinchenko can even fill that position better.
