According TBR Soccer, Arsenal are interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani on loan when the transfer The window opens again.
The London heavyweights were linked with several strikers during the last transfer window. RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko was considered the priority target, but ended up signing a new long-term contract with the Bundesliga team.
TBR Soccer They now report that Arsenal are alert to the possibility of signing Muani, who could leave on loan to PSG this winter. The Frenchman has had a difficult second year with the Ligue 1 giants and has only started 2 games all season.
With Gonçalo Ramos expected to return from injury in the New Year, coach Luis Enrique has opened the door to his departure.
The Gunners are considering the loan of the 25-year-old player, who joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt for £77 million last year.
Possible agreement
Arsenal have lacked sufficient quality in the centre-forward department. Kai Havertz He had a brilliant start to the campaign with a scoring streak, but the goals have dried up for the Germany international in recent weeks.
Gabriel Jesus He is the immediate replacement of the former Chelsea man, but the Brazilian has had a hard time finding the back of the net. The 27-year-old has been playing in his own shadow since suffering a knee injury two years ago.
The Gunners are already 7 points behind the leader Liverpool in it first division and judging by their mixed fortunes up front, that gap could stretch even further before the transfer window reopens this winter.
Muani has had a tough time in Paris under Enrique, but was a revelation in Frankfurt with 23 goals and 17 assists in his final season with them. The striker could redeem himself with a new challenge elsewhere.
Arsenal's style of play could suit him perfectly. Muani is someone who is prepared to occupy deeper attacking positions to connect the play. He is good with his anchoring and can also create chances as well as score goals.
The striker has impressed for France this season with four goal involvements in as many international matches. A temporary move to the Gunners could be a win-win situation for both the London club and the World Cup finalists.
Arsenal can assess whether Muani can succeed in the Premier League before considering a permanent transfer.
