‘This guy is a magician’… Red hot striker blown away by £87m player Arsenal want to sign

It’s something of a rarity to see one Arsenal transfer target discussing the ability of another, but Victor Boniface has now done exactly that.

Following three consecutive defeats it’s clear that Mikel Arteta’s side do need✨ additions to achieve their ♔lofty goals.

And as well as the addition of a new striker, which Victor B🐈oniface c𓃲ould be the perfect candidate for, Arsenal could also use a new number eight.

Kai Havertz has often been deployed in the position but it’s not his most natural, and there’s clearly a gap in Arsenal’s squ🌞ad.

Bayer Leverkusen have been incredibly impressive under Xabi Alonso this season, 💯and it’s not a surprise that their players are attracting attention.

And as well as a move for Boniface, Arsenal have also been credited with interest in the transfer of Florian Wirtz.

Victor Boniface talks up Arsenal transfer target Florian Wirtz

Th🧸e 20-year-old is having an outstanding season, h🍎e’s a key reason Leverkusen are doing so well.

And when speaking on ‘’, Bo💟niface was quick to talk up the rated midfielder.

He said: “This guy ౠis a magician. We are not surprised by what he is doing in the game because in training it��’s crazy.

“When he is with the ball. He is so good, he is fast, strong, skilful. Sometimes you see a number 10 who can use the ball without defending, but he can do it 𒅌alඣl.

“He can defend and attack and he’s skilful.”

Another one for the summer

Whilst Wirtz would be incredibly welcome in North London in January, it’s very unlikely 💞to ꦏhappen.

The German would demand a huge fee and will be committe🍸d to Xabi Alonso’s exciting project at his club this season.

Moreover, it also seems as if Arsenal have very little flexibility in January.

Arte🌊ta will seemingly need to sell players this month in order to bring anyone in, and that’s easier said that done.

As well as Wirtz, Boniface is probably an unachievable ♏transfer for Arsenal in January, even if he may cost half the price.

Much to ไthe disappointment of some fans, Artet🌺a is likely to improve his squad in the summer, and will cope through this difficult period with his existing side.

That being said, one Arsenal target’s goal-scoring is now lookin✅g quite irresistible.
