Despite more than half of the season being over, England's "Arsenal" still doesn't have a main striker. Viktor Gyökeres, who was transferred from "Sporting" in the summer for 64 million pounds (147 million AZN) to "result now and immediately," has not fully lived up to expectations. The Swedish striker has not scored in the Premier League for almost the last three months.
İdman.Biz reports that this situation has led "Arsenal" to look for a striker again. In the focus of the London representative is Madrid "Atletico" striker Julian Alvarez. According to reports, the "Gunners" are considering transferring the former "Manchester City" player in the summer for approximately 86 million pounds (198 million AZN).
Arteta's other attacking options are also in question. Although Gabriel Jesus had a chance in the game against "Manchester United," he made a weak impression, and since his contract has one year left, he is likely to leave the club in the summer. Kai Havertz has hardly been in the starting lineup for almost a year due to long-term injuries.
Alvarez seems like an attractive option in this sense. He has Premier League experience and has scored 19 goals in all competitions in his two seasons at "Manchester City." In the current season, he has been remembered with four goals in six Champions League games and mainly plays as the second striker behind Alexander Sörloth at "Atletico" under the leadership of Diego Simeone.
Alvarez is superior to Gyökeres and Jesus in terms of the number of shots, passes, and chances created. "Arsenal's" interest in Alvarez is related not only to the Argentine's qualities but also to the questions posed by the current strikers. The London club is aware of the risk, but it is also clear that there is a gap in the attack line.
