Arteta personally drives Arsenal Move for a £ 26 million machine

Mikel Arteta No doubt will declare the signature of any new center this summer, but it is not a guarantee that such a move will start immediately Arsenal to the long -awaited Premier league glory.
Indeed, not only through the environment where reinforcements are required, with an upgrade on the left flank is also seemingly needed with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scoring only ten goals of top flights between them this expression.
Accordingly, fans and experts crave a new striker after what looked like another second -placed ending in the league, and Gunners was also briefly in the previous two campaigns.
Not from the summer of 2022, the club was released for a new number nine, although even Gabriel Jesus is not an extraordinary center, especially since most of his work came on the right side during his previous stay in Manchester City.
Since the Brazilian has since been devastated by the injury – with Kai Havertz is also on the side – there is a real deficiency of reliable options on the Emirates, a fact recently transferred by Mikel Merino in a recent transfer to a makeshift target man.
Whether the difference between the league victory is or not, the artillery simply have to sign the attacker. If the recent reports to be passed are, the search has already begun.
The latest in search of the Arsenal striker
Leading target for the north London side remains that of Alexander IsakaAlthough the questionnaires only remained how much a feasible job would be for a Swede, given that the price of £ 150 million is Newcastle United.
With this in mind, the Topmen seem to be looking somewhere else in their extensive search, and football transfers appointed Bologna Santiago Castro as a potential summer option.
According to the report, Arthte is the one who is said to “pushed in person” To seal the signing of young Argentina, with the head of Arsenal, believed to be a “huge fan of” a promising striker.
While the piece is mostly focused on Arsenal’s parallel interest in Starletic Atletico Madrid, Adrian Nino, the Spaniard appears more than the project signing, since he was the first debut on his first team for Laligo in January.
Castro, meanwhile, maybe only 20, although in the midst of a promising campaign in Series A, he seemingly caught the attention of Artea as someone who could also enter the current impact on the Emirates.
Maybe he could follow the steps of a certain Alexise Sanchez in the Arsenal shirt …
Why would Castro be a good signature for Arsenal
While Gunners actually dropped Sanchez from Barcelona in 2014, Chilean mirrored his colleague of South America by originally suffering his homeland in his homeland with Cobrova, before he gave his name in Italy to Udinese.
The attacker now veteran – who ended up in Italian clothing in the twilight of his career – especially scored 12 goals and scored ten other assists In the 2010/11 Serie season, before Barca has spoiled it, it usually acts as a central or other striker.
Castro, meanwhile, followed a similar path after he started in his native Argentina with Velez Sarsfield – for whom he scored nine goals In 64 games – before switching to Bologna last year, continuing to achieve eight times and register four assists in the top flight of Italy in 2024/25.

Now It is worth around € 30 million (£ 26 million)According to reports in January, Castro is well on the way to imitating Sanchez’s last season in Udinese, with now, maybe a chance to find Arsenal – instead of signing him later down the line, as they did with Sanchez.
After being described as “Complete forward“Analyst Ben Mattinson, a 6 -foot -mirror machine who can also appear on his hips, ensuring that he can face Martinelli and Trossard in that left -wing berth.
Not just “instinctive finisher“, Mattinson’s words, the natives of Buenos Aires can also prove a valuable addition because of its innate relationship, which also shows the fact that he is ranked in the top 10% attacker in the first five leagues in Europe to end passing.
Composed presence of both possession and in front of the goal, Castro could certainly be worth taking the punt. Since Arsenal saw the success of Sanchez signing, in the middle of his return 124 goal and assists In just 166 games for the club, it is hoped that capturing a potential heir will be shown equally fertile.
WITH 20 goals and assists in 46 games For Bologna from signing back in January 2024, the 20-year-old could be a solution for a wild mark.
