Arsenal will reportedly have an advantage in the race to sign 22-year-old Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, Daniele Galosso has claimed that Arsenal will have an advantage in the race to sign Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old striker is one of the most highly sought-after players in the market after a solid 2023/24 campaign.
Joshua Zirkzee and his skyrocketing stock
Joshua Zirkzee has become a hot property in the market after a superb 2023/24 season with Bologna. The Dutchman was struggling to find a stable footing in his career before joining the Rossoblu, with his stint with Bayern Munich not working out. However, he has not looked back in the last two years.
The 22-year-old has contributed to 19 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net 12 times while providing seven assists. Meanwhile, Zirkzee’s progress at Bologna has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
A move to the Premier League might be on the cards, with well-known outfits like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa showing interest in the Bologna striker. However, Arsenal will aim to beat the competition to Zirkzee’s signature in the summer transfer window.
London calling?
Recent reports have pointed to Arsenal being in the pole position to sign Joshua Zirkzee. The North London club’s interest in the 22-year-old Dutchman is understandable amid Gabriel Jesus’s struggles in front of the goal this season. In addition, Eddie Nketiah has failed to make his mark and will likely depart from the Emirates in the summer transfer window.
So, it behoves Arsenal to invest in a talented striker, with Zirkzee emerging as a viable target. Daniele Galosso has now boosted Arsenal’s prospects, claiming the Gunners have an advantage in the race to sign the Dutch striker from Bologna.
Recent reports have claimed that Kia Joorabchian wants to take Zirkzee to Arsenal in the summer transfer window. With the North London club having the advantage in the transfer battle, it will be interesting to see where the 22-year-old Dutchman lands in the coming weeks.
