Arsenal joins Race to sign £100 million PL Star

Arsenal this season has two major problems: injury and invasion of attack form.
We should not underestimate the importance of the former, as Mikel Arteta had to cope without Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes, while Liverpool were quite strong with their star players.
But North Londoners lack cutting-edge people equally have problems, and as things get the impact, none of the players on the team scored double digits in the Premier League.
So with that in mind, it’s no surprise to see recent reports linking the club to an exciting striker, he hit a milestone, which could be a real upgrade for Kai Havertz.
Arsenal's forward search
Before connecting with the players involved, it is worth looking at some of the other Premier League scorers who have been in contact with Arsenal in recent weeks, such as Ollie Watkins and Liam Delap.
Transfer focus
Giant money deals, controversial moves and big-name slippers. This is the hometown of football fans' transfer news and opinions.
The former may be priced at around £50m this summer and he has scored 17 goals and 13 assists in 52 games this season, it's hard to say it's not a fair price.
On the other hand, Delap's contract has only £30m release clause, with 12 goals and 2 assists in 38 games, which again feels reasonable.
But now, another Central forward is touted to move to Emirates Airlines Joao Pedro.
Yes, Arsenal is one of many Premier League clubs interested in Brighton and Hove Albion stars, according to a recent report by journalist Sam Dean.
Dean, along with the Gunners, revealed that Chelsea and Liverpool were particularly keen on the Brazilian striker, who could cost £100 million, according to reports last month, although that could be lowered in negotiations.
Although this may be a complex and expensive transfer, Arsenal should still pursue it, as Pedro's flashes on the South Coast show brilliance and can represent a true upgrade from Havertz.
Pedro vs. Havertz comparison
If the last and a half seasons tell us anything about Arsenal’s attacks, it’s that Javitz is firmly ahead of Gabriel Jesus in the Pecking Order.
So if the club signs Pedro in the next few weeks and months, he will compete with the Germans, but when we compare them, who is at the highest?
Well, it's “sensation” for the Brazilian when it comes to raw output in the league this season, and he's called him by U23 scout Antonio Mango, who stands out.
In 27 games, a total of only 1953 minutes, he has found the back of the net ten times and provided 6 assists, with an average of every 1.68 games or every 122.06 minutes of target participation.
By comparison, the Gunners' 29 were able to score nine goals and provide three assists in 21 league appearances, totaling 1842 before he was injured, with an average of goals per 1.75 games or every 153.5 minutes.
Unfortunately for the former Chelsea star, he also almost finished second when we were under the hood and compared their base numbers.
For example, among most relevant indicators, Seagulls' ace stands out, such as goals, assists, improved passes and carrying, shooting and goal moves, key passes, entering the final third and free throw areas, successful catch areas, successful catch areas, etc., all in 90, all in 90, such as goals, progress and progress actions, shooting and goal moves, shooting and goal moves, shooting and goal moves, shooting and goal moves.

Ultimately, as long as they can make that fee drop, Arsenal should hope to sign Pedro this summer, as not only will he return better than Javitz in the Premier League, but his base numbers are also more impressive.
