Premier League heavyweights Arsenal have reportedly asked for information about 26-year-old Girona striker Artem Dovbyk.
According to reputed Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, Artem Dovbyk is the subject of interest from Arsenal. The Gunners are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. And they have submitted an enquiry to sign the 26-year-old from La Liga club Girona.
The rise of Artem Dovbyk at Girona
Artem Dovbyk has made an immediate impact since joining Girona from SK Dnipro-1 last summer. The Ukrainian international has established himself as one of the best strikers in La Liga in the past 12 months and was instrumental in guiding the Catalan outfit to a top-four finish in the Spanish top flight.
The 26-year-old amassed 25 goals and ten assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. Dovbyk’s impact helped Girona qualify for the UEFA Champions League. However, the in-demand striker might not participate in Europe’s premier competition next season, with his exploits capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
A move to the Premier League might be on the cards, with several English bigwigs setting their sights on him. In addition, Rudy Galetti has revealed that the Girona striker is a target for Serie A heavyweights Napoli. But the latest update has pointed to interest from Arsenal, with the North London club submitting an enquiry for Dovbyk.
London calling?
Arsenal’s interest in Artem Dovbyk is understandable. The Gunners are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window, with Gabriel Jesus failing to make his mark in the final third in the last two seasons. While the Brazilian international has his strengths, he is not a productive contributor with goals and assists.
So, the Gunners want to sign a prolific striker in the summer transfer window, with several candidates, including Dovbyk, emerging on their radar. The latest report has revealed an enquiry from Arsenal, with the North London club seeking information about a potential summer move.
While Arsenal will face stiff competition from several other clubs, they can offer UEFA Champions League football and have a stable project. It will be interesting to see if the 26-year-old moves to the Premier League in the summer transfer window.
