Ajax attacking sensation Brian Brobbey could be the ideal target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the upcoming transfer window.
According to a report from Football Insider, Arsenal are pushing hard to sign a new number nine in the summer and they have been linked with multiple top forwards. But, Ajax’s Brian Brobbey could be the most realistic and affordable option for them.
Brobbey has come up the ranks at Ajax, he had a short spell at RB Leipzig that didn’t really go according to plan. He returned to the Dutch club and has been an important part of their first team since.
In the ongoing season, the 22-year-old striker has featured in 43 matches across competitions. The Dutch international has found the back of the net on 22 occasions and he also has 12 assists to his name. His exceptional form in front of goal hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Multiple top clubs are interested in his services and despite his contract running until the summer of 2027, a decent offer could help them prise him away from the Dutch club.
Brian Brobbey to Arsenal?
Arenal are one of the clubs interested in the young forward. The Gunners have once again fallen short in the race for the Premier League title and are now looking to further bolster their squad to ensure they can get their hand on the title.
Arteta is not happy with the output of his strikers and wants an out-and-out number nine who can add goals to his squad. With Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah’s future at the club uncertain, a new forward is a top priority.
While they have been monitoring the likes of Benjamin Sesko, Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, signing any of them won’t be that straightforward because of the amount of interest in them and the price tag.
Arsenal have also been linked with the Ajax number nine in the recent past. He is an exciting talent who could do wonders in the long run. According to the report, the 22-year-old could be the most realistic option for the North London club.
Amongst all their targets, he will be one of the most affordable options. The player has talked highly about Arsenal in the recent past which could mean that he is open to a move to the English club.
