Arsenal now on red alert as ‘top class’ striker in talks to terminate contract but he wants Liverpool

Arsenal failed to sign a striker during the winter transfer window.

Mikel Arteta 🗹admitted he wanted to find a solution in the market after losing Gabriel Jesus to a serious knee injury, saying: “We are going to try, for sure. We are actively looking. We will try, but let’s see who we can get.”

TBR Football believe ꧃Arsenal approached RB Leipzig to🅰 sign Benjamin Sesko – but the German side refused to sell – and while the Gunners were also offered Randal Kolo Muani on l🦩oan, the northꩵ Londoners eventually went without.

The situation has since become worse after Kai Havertz tore his hamstr🦹ing – ruling him out for the rest of the season – leaving Arteta to use Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker last time out against Leicester.

Now – however – Arsenal could sign Roberto Firmino to replace Havertz and Jesus.

Roberto Firmino keen on return to England as talks begin to rip up Al-Ahli contract

A story from in Brazil now states that the South American is holding talks with Al-Ahli over a contract termination, wi♏th Arsenal monitoring the situation.

The Brazilian news outlet state that Arsenal view Firmino – wh𒉰o Ole Gunner Solskjaer called “top class” – as an excellent market opportꦇunity after injuries to Ha꧑vertz and Jesus.

Flamengo are also keen on the Brazil internation🐻al, but RTI Esporte claim the 33-year-old wo🌺uld prefer a return to Europe.

Firmino, who scored 11 goals against Arsenal while at Liverpool, is unhappy after Al-Ahli opted not to register him for the Saudi Pro Leagﷺue, instead handing his spot to new signing Galenoℱ.

The Maceio-born striker left Anfield when his contract expired back in the summer of 2023, moving to ܫAl-Ahli on a freeꦫ transfer, where he has scored 19 goals and provided 12 assists in 60 appearances.

However, the development involving Galeno could now open the door to Firmino coming back to the P෴remier League – with Arsenal and Liverpool potential destinations.
