Arsenal remain in the race to sign Serhou Guirassy – Plettenberg

According to the German journalist Florian Plettenberg, Arsenal They are candidates to sign forward Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart.

The Gunners are likely to invest in a new centre-forward this summer as they look to boost their chances of winning the first division title next season.

Plettenberg He has now revealed that Borussia Dortmund are still very optimistic about signing Guirassy, ​​but the German side still have a lot of competition.

So far there is no complete agreement. Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan remain involved in the search for the player. Guirassy wants to decide his future in the coming days.

Possible agreement

Guirassy was in excellent form for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga last season. He scored 28 goals in the German top flight and finished with 30 goals in all competitions.

The striker attracted attention for his connection and hold-up play. He created 12 great opportunities for his Bundesliga teammates. His attributes would fit perfectly with Arsenal.

Ideally, fans would want a young striker with immense potential, but Arsenal could have other plans in mind after missing out on signing RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.

Sesko was widely touted to join the Gunners but decided to stay at the German club by signing a new contract. Arsenal are still interested and I could come back for the the next summer.

This could prompt the Arsenal hierarchy to invest in someone like Guirassy, ​​who could prove a good short-term signing.

The 28-year-old player is currently experiencing the best stage of his career and will not cost much either. Stuttgart could lose it for just £15 million due to the termination clause in his contract.

Dortmund intends to beat the competition in his signing, but Arsenal could outwit them by proposing a better financial package for the Guinean striker in the coming days.

AC Milan are unlikely to compete financially with the Gunners. A move to Chelsea also seems unlikely as they appear to have a policy of signing players aged 25 or younger.
