Arsenal’s offensive line is currently suffering due to a spate of injuries. The Gunners need to act quickly in the transfer market to address their shortage of forwards. Reports suggest the club’s management has identified a player from Brazil’s Serie A as a potential recruit in the coming months.
The string of injuries at Arsenal has sparked numerous speculations. Their offensive division has lost key players. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus are still sidelined. Although Saka might soon return to action, Gabriel Jesus is out for the season.
The Gunners must find a replacement for Gabriel Jesus. Several names have surfaced recently. Dusan Vlahovic, Viktor Gyökeres, and Benjamin Sesko have all been linked with a move to Arsenal. Another lesser-known name has now been added to Mikel Arteta’s list of targets.
A John Textor Player in the Crosshairs
Negotiations with Juventus for Dusan Vlahovic are dragging on. Benjamin Sesko’s agent has denied any contact with the Gunners. Arsenal is encountering a significant number of competitors regarding the pursuit of Gyökeres.
According to the Daily Express, the Gunners have shifted their focus area. The London club has now turned its attention towards Brazil and Botafogo in search of a forward. John Textor’s club boasts a formidable striker: Igor Jesus. The Brazilian international (2 caps, 1 goal) has been on Arsenal’s radar for some time.
The former sporting director, Edu, had initiated the recruitment process for the Brazilian player. Having become an international last October, the 23-year-old attacker has played 22 matches with Botafogo. He has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists this season.
He could be a valuable addition to the Gunners for the remainder of the season. His market value is estimated at 35 million euros.
