Report: Arsenal in race to sign Antony; Spurs no longer in running
Arsenal are in the race to sign Antony from Ajax this summer, that Tottenham Hotspur asked for information before signing Dejan Kulusevski during the January transfer window.
Antony is one of the most exciting forwards plying his trade in Europe right now. The Brazilian has scored 12 goals and contributed 10 assists in all competitions this term.
A host of sides now want the 22-year-old. Reports have recently claimed that Liverpool want Antony. Meanwhile, Calciomercato has named a raft of Premier League clubs who also want the youngster.
Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are all admirers of Antony. Meanwhile, it is noted that Ajax would want at least £38 million.
that Tottenham also asked for information on Antony before signing Kulusevski. They have a good relationship with his agent. However, the arrival of Kulusevski is likely to rule them out of the running.
Antony signing would be a brilliant way for Arsenal to celebrate return to European football
Antony has been an outstanding signing for Ajax. And he has forced his way into the Brazil senior squad over the last few months.
The Gunners do not need to prioritise signing a new wide forward this summer. The likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe have been outstanding for much of this season.
But Mikel Arteta’s men also have European football emerging on the horizon next year. They will almost certainly be in the Europa League at the very least.
And should they win on Monday, they will find themselves just two points behind Chelsea in third.
With that, Arsenal need to increase the depth they have. And signing someone such as Antony may make a lot of sense.
It is not a game-changing sum to pay £38 million. And he is a player that Erik ten Hag previously described as ‘incredible‘.
Given the clubs in the running, it would be a real statement for Arsenal to sign Antony.
