Arsenal are hoping to sign Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee in the summer, and they are prepared to offer him a lucrative contract.
A report from reputed Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Arsenal are ready to offer Joshua Zirkzee a contract worth around €6 million per year. The Dutch striker has gained popularity in the market due to his exploits with Serie A club Bologna.
He has been linked with European giants like Juventus and Bayern Munich as well. The Dutch attacker has been quite impressive this season, and he has 17 goal contributions in all competitions. He has found the back of the net 11 times and picked up 6 assists along the way as well.
Arsenal need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the 22-year-old could prove to be a quality long-term addition. And recent reports have claimed that the Gunners are prepared to make an important offer to secure his services.
Star striker Gabriel Jesus has not been at his best this season, and he has not scored goals consistently. Arsenal need to invest in a reliable goalscorer, and Zirkzee could share the goalscoring burden with the Brazilian international. The Dutchman will be excited about the possibility of competing in the Premier League, and a move to Arsenal would be an exceptional opportunity for him.
Zirkzee will fancy Arsenal move
Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been competing for the league title since last season. It is clear that they have a talented squad and a quality manager. They are capable of pushing for major trophies consistently, and any player would be attracted to the idea of joining them.
A move to Arsenal would be a major step up for Zirkzee, and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League. The 22-year-old is still quite young, and he will improve with coaching and experience. Mikel Arteta could help him fulfil his tremendous potential. The Arsenal manager has been quite influential when it comes to nurturing young players.
With Juventus and Bayern Munich keen on the player, it will not be an easy race for Arsenal to win. But the Gunners have more financial resources compared to the other two clubs, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
