According TBR Football, Arsenal They are interested in securing the signature of Spartak Moscow striker Manfred Ugalde before the turn of the year.
The Gunners have had a disappointing first half of the season by their high standards. They are 6 points away from first division leaders Liverpoolwho has one less game against Everton far from home.
The London giants could sign a new centre-forward in the coming years transfer window. TBR Football reveal that Arsenal have joined Chelsea in the pursuit of Spartak's Ugalde.
The 22-year-old signed for the Russian giants from Twente at the start of the year and has been in exceptional form in the current campaign with 16 goals in 22 games.
The Costa Rican star has a release clause worth £25m which has alerted some of Europe's elite clubs.
Unlikely agreement
Arsenal have struggled in the centre-forward department this campaign. Kai Havertz He has accumulated 10 goals this season, but has not scored in the London heavyweights' big games.
Gabriel Jesus has been far from his best level so far. He has only scored 4 goals and 3 of them came in the Carabao Cup quarter-final match against Crystal Palace in midweek. His luck could change this season.
Arsenal have now been linked with an approach for Ugalde, but a move would be a huge surprise. Ugalde has attracted attention for his work rate, high pressure and ability to regularly score chances.
However, he is far from his best when it comes to ball control. This is a very important attribute to play as a centre-forward for the Gunners. Because of this, we don't see Arsenal approaching him despite the low release clause.
Arsenal could focus on getting a star striker like Newcastle UnitedEditIn his place, Alexander Isak or Benjamin Sesko, from RB Leipzig. They may have to wait until the end of the season before making a serious offer to take one of them.
