Arsenal really want to sign ‘dangerous’ £38m attacker who plays just like Bukayo Saka
Arsenal may have found the perfect player to provide competition to Bukayo Saka on the right wing.
Mikel Arteta’s side are on the market to strengthen multiple areas of their squad. They need better players to pip Manchester City to the Premier League title after falling short two seasons in a row.
All eyes will be on players who can come in and start right away, but Arsenal need top-quality options off the bench too, which is something they lack compared to Pep Guardiola’s side.
Now, ꦿa report has claimed that Arsenal’s interest in one player is the ‘most concrete’ despite links to Bayern Munich and Liverpool this summer.
Arsenal really want to sign Johan Bakayoko
Johan Bakayoko has been linked with a move away from PSV Eindhoven for🍸 quite some time now.
The 21-year-old is one o🍃f the most talented young players in th𓄧e Eredivisie. He played a huge part in helping them win the Dutch league title last season and is now expected to move to a bigger club.
Liverpool have been heaviꦯly linked with a move to sign Bakayoko for a long time now, with the young w🦄inger tipped by many to be the heir to Mohamed Salah’s throne at Anfield.
However, Arne Slot’s side are not the club with the ‘most concrete’ interest in Bakayoko – it’s Arsenal.
That’s according to , who have revealed that Arsenal want to sign Bakayoko ahead 𒉰of both Bayern Munich and Liverpool this summ✱er.
The winger played twice against the Gunners in the 2023/24 season in the group stage of the Championsꦦ League. He must have caught Arteta’s eye in those games.
The report claims that Bakayoko has the profile that suits Arsenal’s system, but any transfer is likely to happen after Euro 2024.
PSV, however, want ཧ£38 million for their star attacker to leave this﷽ summer.
Bakayoko plays just like an Arsenal player
Arsenal have very good attackers, but Bukayo Saka is undoubtedly their bes🍸t player in their frontli🌄ne.
The Englishman scored 20 goals and provided 14 assists in what was a really 🔴productive 2023/24 campaign. He i๊s among the best right-wingers in the world.
Unfortunately for the Gunners, they do not have a like-for-like replacement for Saka in their squad – that’s where Bakayoko comes in, who has been described as PSV’s version of the Arsenal number seven.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League clash against PS๊V, Adrian Clarke said in ༺2023: “There’s a player on the right wing, their most exciting player and most dangerous player is the right winger. A kid called Johan Bakayoko.
“He’s only 20 (now 21), he’s quick, he’s like Saka, he’s their version of Saka. He pla❀ys off the right and is left-footed, so we have 💙to be careful.”
Bakayoko’s talent is unquestionable and the fact that he is still only 21 means he will only get bett♏er in the coming years. That makes him perfect for Arsenal, where he wil🦂l not just be a backup to Saka but will also push the England winger to a higher level.
