Arsenal will race and sign a £100 million PL star

5 Min Read

Arsenal has had two major issues this season. Injured and inactive attack form.

Mikel Arteta should not underestimate the importance of the former, as Bucayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalges and others had to deal with the long stretches of the campaign.

But North London’s cutting edge lack is just as problematic, and as things stand, the team that has reached second digits in the Premier League doesn’t have a single player.

So with this in mind, it’s no surprise to see recent reports linking the club to a milestone and with exciting strikers that could become a real upgrade for Kai Havertz.

Before arriving at the player in question, it’s worth looking into some of the other Premier League strikers, such as Ollie Watkins and Liam Delap, who have linked Arsenal in recent weeks.

Transfer focus

Mega Money deals, controversial moves, famous flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinions across Football FanCust.

The former could be available for around £50 million this summer. He’s loaded up sensational distances of 17 goals and 13 assists in 52 games this season, so it’s hard to say that it’s not a fair price.

Meanwhile, Delap has a release clause of just £30 million on the deal, with 12 goals and two assists in 38 games, which once again feels pretty reasonable.

But another centre forward is being promoted for its travel to the U.E.

Yes, according to a recent report from journalist Sam Dean, Arsenal is one of many Premier League clubs interested in the Brighton & Hove Albion star.

Dean, alongside the gunners, revealed that Chelsea and Liverpool are particularly enthusiastic about Brazilian strikers.

With Pedro getting a glimpse of the glow on the South Coast and potentially representing a real upgrade for Hubbard, Arsenal could be a complicated and expensive transfer to get it done, but Arsenal should still pursue it.

How Pedro compares to Havertz

If the final and half seasons tell you anything about Arsenal’s offense, then Hubert is firmly ahead of Gabriel Jesus in the pecking order to start the top.

So if the club signs Pedro in the coming weeks and months, he will stand up to the Germans for the start of Bath, but who will be on top if we compare them?

Now, regarding the raw production in the league this season, he is a “sensational” Brazilian dubbed by U23 scout Antonio Mango.

With 27 appearances in a total of 1953, he found the backstage of the net in 10 times and provided six assists.

In contrast, the Gunners’ No. 29 scored nine goals and was able to provide three assists in 21 league appearances. This would be goal involvement on average every 1.75 games in 1842, or every 153.5 minutes, in total before injury.

Unfortunately for the former Chelsea star, he also comes out the second best when looking under the hood and comparing the numbers that underneath their underlying.

Ultimately, Arsenal should consider signing Pedro this summer, as long as they can lower that fee somewhat. Not only does he have a better rate of return in the Premier League than Helbert, he also has a much more impressive set of numbers.
