Arsenal handed boost in pursuit of £50m striker who’s ‘better than Erling Haaland’

Arsenal are enjoying a fruitful and still have the potential to win two major trophies. Better still, it looks like the Gunners are only at the start of their journey.

Arsenal duo Mikel Arteta and Edu have helped put toge♕ther a top squad that is not only laden witওh talent, but is also full of character and work-rate.

As a result, Arsenal remain firmly in contention for the Premier League title and are in with a chance of reaching the 🔴Champions League semi-finals.

The Gunners camp aren’t likely to rest on their laurels this summer, and there’s a decent🌳 chance we could see numerous signings through the N5 doors.

Now, Arsenal may have just received a big boost in pursuit of a tra🉐nsfer target who has been likened to Highbury legend Dennis Bergkamp.

The player in quest꧑ion is Netherlands international Joshua Zirkzee, who has been impressing for Serie A side Bologna.

What is the situation with Arsenal target Joshua Zirkzee?

have reported that the 22-year-old’s performances for Bol🌱ogna this se꧟ason are ‘tempting’ Arsenal into a move for him this summer.

And while the Gunners have been linked with Zirkzee in the past, the report also claims that the player is seemin🌟gly reluctant to return to Bayern Munich.

The Dutchman has a €40milli♏on (£34mill𒁏ion) clause to return to his former club, and obviously they’d be a big pull for any player.

However, if Zirkzee does♔n’t fancy returning to the Allianz Arena, then it eliminates a club that would be a thorn in Arsenal’s sღide when it comes to transfer targets.

Zirkzee is a quality player who’s shining at present and also has a very high ceiling, and that’s before getting on the🌟 comparisons with Bergkamp

Former Italy interna꧑tional Francesco Graziani is quoted as saying by in December: “Techni꧑cally he is very good and has shown that he sees the goal.

“In Zirkzee I seem to see the Dutch Dennis꧟ Bergkamp: someone who made your eyes shine with his technique.”

Meanwhile, journalist Su💯leyman Ozt𒈔urk claimed on  in October 2022 that Zirkzee is a level above the Manchester City forward ‘in almost everything’.

Ozturk said: “He’s better than Erling Haaland in almos✨t ever🌼ything, only the monster in him is missing.”

At , Zirkzee not going to come cheap, but he certainly seems liဣke an op🍰tion worth pursuing.
