Striker Arsenal sold for just £4m last summer agrees move to Champions League rival

Arsenal are having a great season so far, remaining firmly in contention for the Premier League title, the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.

The Gunners will also be among the favourites to go 🐭all the way in the FA Cup as they get their campaign underway against Manchester United this month.

With the January transfer window now open, Arsenal are able to 🐻bring in reinforcements, though they must also be mindful of other clubs eyeing their players.

The Gunners have been linked with a numbe😼r of strikers in recent months, as they still lack an out-and-out 🐽No. 9.

Interestingly, a centre-forward Arsenal sold for just £4million last summer is now closing in on a move to a Champions League rival, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Mika Biereth set for Monaco move just months after leaving Arsenal

Last summer, Arsenal sold Mika Biereth to Sturm 🤪Graz for £4million after 🌠impressing on loan at the Austrian club.

The 21-year-old registered nine goals and🧜 nine assists for Graz lꦗast term and is on 14 goals and five assists this season.

Romano has now taken to X to🅠 say AS Monaco and Biereth have agreed personal terms over a move to the Ligue 1 club and talks are underway with Graz.

Any potential switch will see Biereth joiꦡn up with former Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun, who moved to the Ligue 1 side in August 2023.

The 23-year-old is currently out with a shoulder injury, however, which may e✃xplain why Monaco are now looking for a replacement.

How Arsenal could yet benefit from Biereth move

According to , Arsenal included a ‘significant sell-🐎on clause’ in the deal which saw Biereth join Graz.

This means the Gunners could be set for a windfall from Biereth’s potential Monaco switch, which could then be reinvested in the p🍌laying sq༺uad.

Biereth previ෴ously said a return to Arsenal would be “fantastic”, but the way things are go�๊�ing now, it’s looking likely that he would do so on the opposing side.
