In the quest to enhance their attacking prowess, Arsenal has set its sights on Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez.
According to a Football Insider report, the Gunners are actively seeking to secure the 22-year-old Mexican’s services this month, anticipating a potential expenditure in the range of £30-40 million.
Gimenez has exhibited outstanding form for Feyenoord, netting an impressive 20 goals across various competitions this season and playing a pivotal role in their recent title triumph. Evidently, the young striker is seeking to elevate his game to a higher echelon, making a potential move to Arsenal an enticing proposition.
However, the North London club faces competition from rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham, and West Ham United. Despite the competitive landscape, Arsenal boasts both the financial muscle to meet the reported asking price and a more compelling allure compared to the other suitors.
In the midst of their Premier League title contention, Arsenal’s formidable squad and ambitious project could prove decisive in attracting Gimenez. The 22-year-old’s potential for growth, coupled with the coaching and experience he stands to gain in the Premier League, makes a move to Arsenal a strategic career choice.
While Arsenal has been linked with other strikers, such as Ivan Toney from Brentford, the financial considerations might tip the scales in favor of Gimenez. With a more reasonable price tag, securing Gimenez’s services in January could be a prudent move for the Gunners as they aim to bolster their title challenge and surpass the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
