The Dutch star has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent months and Corriere dello Sport He now claims that his agent Joorabchian has a great relationship with Edu and would like to bring him to Arsenal.

good talent

Zirkzee has had a move to Arsenal on his mind for some time and speculation has intensified. Arsenal have done business with Joorabchian in the past with the signings of Willian, Cedric Soares and Auston Trusty.

Douglas Luiz, another Joorabchian client, was also on the radar in the summer of 2022. The Gunners made three separate offers at that time, but Aston Villa They were quite clear that the Brazilian international was not for sale.

The respected agent is now interested in bringing Zirkzee to the Gunners. The Dutchman is a talented young striker and has had a good campaign with Bologna, where he has scored 12 goals and provided another 7 assists in all competitions.

His stats aren't exemplary at the moment, but his potential has sparked a lot of interest. Zirkzee is a modern striker, who can position himself in deeper attacking positions to coordinate play. He is also good with the hold-up and high-pressure game of his.

We won't be surprised if Arsenal are genuinely interested in landing his signature, but some fans will probably question the club's ambition. Surely the Gunners need a more prolific goalscorer to compete for the league title.
