Arsenal is making a strong push to secure the services of Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee, aiming to bolster their attacking lineup. Initially expressing interest alongside other potential targets like Viktor Gyökeres, the Gunners have now ramped up their efforts. With scouts closely monitoring Zirkzee’s performances, Arsenal is reportedly preparing a substantial offer to secure him.
Recent reports suggest that Arsenal has emerged as the frontrunners in the pursuit of Zirkzee, largely due to their willingness to present him with a lucrative contract worth £6 million per season. The allure of Arsenal’s playing style and Premier League status adds to their appeal for the young striker.
However, Bologna’s unexpected success in Serie A complicates matters, as they are determined to hold out for a significant fee despite the attention surrounding Zirkzee. Nevertheless, Arsenal sees Zirkzee as a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s system, given his age, goal-scoring ability, and technical skills.
Although Arsenal is currently leading the race for Zirkzee, competition from Serie A giants could escalate into a bidding war. The outcome of this transfer saga will indicate Arsenal’s ambition and their ability to attract top talent as they aim to establish themselves as genuine contenders for the Premier League title.
