Arsenal has been linked to Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy as a potential summer signing.
With the Gunners seeking to bolster their attack, Guirassy's impressive form in the Bundesliga has caught their attention. The 28-year-old scored 30 goals in 30 appearances for Stuttgart, finishing second in the league's top scorer standings, just eight goals behind Harry Kane.
Guirassy's impressive performance has also attracted interest from Chelsea, AC Milan, and Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal, however, is in need of a prolific striker to challenge for the Premier League title. Despite finishing second for two consecutive years, the Gunners' top scorers, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, and Leandro Trossard, failed to reach the 20-goal mark.
Guirassy's addition would provide a significant boost to Arsenal's attack, offering a clinical finisher to complement their creative midfield. With Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea expected to strengthen their squads, Arsenal must act swiftly to secure Guirassy's signature and stay competitive in the title race.
Guirassy's permanent move to Stuttgart last summer followed a successful loan spell, and his impressive form has made him a sought-after talent in Europe. Arsenal's pursuit of Guirassy highlights their ambition to challenge for the Premier League title, and his signing would be a significant coup for the Gunners.
MANCHESTER UNITED INTERESTED IN ALVARO MORATA
Manchester United has initiated talks with Alvaro Morata's agent, exploring a potential summer transfer.
The Red Devils seek to alleviate the goalscoring pressure on Rasmus Hojlund, who faced a challenging debut season in the Premier League. With a limited transfer budget of £50 million, Erik Ten Hag is considering a cost-effective move for Morata.
Morata's contract with Atletico Madrid includes a £10.1 million release clause, making him an attractive option for Manchester United. However, they face competition from AS Roma, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, and Fenerbahce, all of whom are also vying for the striker's signature.
Manchester United has also been linked to other strikers, including Joshua Zirkzee, as they search for a supporting act for Hojlund. Morata's Premier League experience, garnered during his 18-month stint at Chelsea, where he scored 24 goals in 72 appearances, makes him a valuable asset for the Red Devils.
Securing Morata's services would provide a significant boost to Manchester United's attack, offering a clinical finisher to complement Hojlund's potential. With a relatively low transfer budget, Morata's affordable release clause makes him an appealing option for Ten Hag, as Manchester United looks to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
