Zirkzee’s stats for Bologna this season

T🌜imber’s return to action was a welcome boost for Arsenal and the defender will now have the summer to prepare for a huge second season at the Emirates. But there is still work to be done on Arteta’s squad and many feel they need a prolific goalscorer. 

Kai Havertz hꦛas stepped up since the turn of the year and netted the winner against🔥 Everton on Sunday.

Yet, Zirkzee would certainly offer something different up front for Arteta. The ‘’ striker stands at 6’3” but boasts impressive pace for a play🌠er for his height. 

The Dutchman has netted 12 timesℱ and provided seven assists in 37 appearances for Bol🌜ogna this term.

But Zi🎶rkzee🐟 won’t come cheap, with Bologna reportedly set to demand around for their prized asset this summer.
