Arsenal are interested in signing Brighton attacker Joao Pedro in the summer transfer window, and the Seagulls are willing to sell him for the right price.
According to the Sun, they asked the 23-year-old Brazilian to be £70 million. The report claims Liverpool are also interested in players.
Arsenal needs attack reinforcements
The player has 10 goals in the Premier League this season and he can prove to be a quality acquisition by Arsenal. They need to need more forefront in the last third, and Brazilians will increase their goals and creativity in terms of things. He could prove to be an upgrade to fellow countryman Gabriel Jesus, who couldn’t consistently score goals.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has been described as an “incredible footballer”.
Pedro is still only 23 years old and can improve through coaching and experience. With the right guidance, he can develop into a reliable Premier League attacker. Whether Arsenal is ready to pay him £70 million remains to be seen. This is a huge amount of money for players who are still unproven at the highest level.
Arsenal may look for him for more reasonable money this summer. How the situation will develop remains to be seen. Chelsea has been watching Brazilians too.
Arsenal can use Joao Pedro
Convincing the striker to join the club is not difficult for Arsenal. They are one of the largest clubs in the world and want to compete at a high level with them. They can provide him with a platform to compete in the Champions League and compete for the league title.
This summer, Arsenal has been linked with a number of strikers and it will be interesting to see who they eventually sign. Signing the shooter will be their priority, entering the summer transfer window.
