Arsenal transfer news; Edu must splash £139m if Arsenal completes two big transfers
Arsenal transfer news; Edu must splash £139m if Arsenal complete two big transfers to solve Mikel Arteta’s summer problem.
Arsenal transfer news: The Gunners will be looking for two new strikers in the summer transfer window and he may have to spend big to do so
Mikel Arteta will be asking Edu to sign at least one striker in the summer transfer window. And the Arsenal manager will more than likely request two strikers, given Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah look set to leave the club on free transfers.
Arsenal have been linked with a number of frontmen, not just for this summer, but in the January transfer window just gone too.
The likes of Alexander Isak, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonathan David and more recently Darwin Nunez have been tipped to make the move to north London.
According to CBS Sports, the Gunners are ‘extensively scouting’ Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez.
If Arsenal are to complete transfers for two new frontmen this summer, it is going to cost them a lot of money if Osimhen and Martinez are the ones through the door.
And getting either or both of those is likely to rely heavily on the Gunners finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League next season.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Martinez is valued at around £88.5million with Inter likely to expect big money for the Argentinian star.
Osimhen on the other hand is valued at around £50.5million,which would make it a huge undertaking for Edu and Arteta to sign the duo.
After spending more than £150million in the summer transfer window on a number of up and coming stars like Albert Sambi Lokonga, Ben White and Aaron Ramsdale, the Gunners could be better set spending their money on established strikers to solve Arteta’s biggest issue ahead of the 2022/23 season.
And £139million might just be what is needed to sign Osimhen and Martinez.
