A host of Premier League sides are looking closely at MLS talent Gabriel Pec, as a January window approach could be on the cards.
According to Caught Offside, LA Galaxy winger Gabriel Pec could make a surprise move to the Premier League ahead of the January window. A host of English sides are closely looking at the Brazilian wide attacker, including the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool.
Gabriel Pec is making a name for himself, albeit in the MLS, where he continued to star for LA Galaxy. The winger could be the subject of heavy interest from Premier League sides, as the likes of Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are interested.
The report also names Arsenal and Liverpool as big admirers of the 23-year-old MLS star, as they also suggest a surprise January approach could be on the cards. The Brazilian’s talent and subsequent signing could go under the radar in England, as both those top rivals are eager to bolster their respective right wing.
Palace, on the other hand, are looking for a new winger to add to their attacking depth, which has suffered since the departure of Michael Olise in the summer. The Eagles are linked with a host of players in the market ahead of January and may not necessarily view Gabriel Pec as someone to fill the void left by the Frenchman.
Newcastle United are prioritising a new winger in January, and it is believed they will focus on strengthening the right side, as they have enough quality options on the left. The signing of Gabriel Pec may not seem very inspiring, but the 23-year-old MLS star could pack a surprise and shine.
Arsenal and Liverpool should consider Gabriel Pec’s approach
Arsenal and Liverpool are in the thick of a title race, and someone like Gabriel Pec may be different from the solution their fans would want in the market. However, a player of the 23-year-old MLS star’s quality could help with the depth problem in that right-wing position. Arsenal has found it increasingly tough to convince any player to join them as a backup to Bukayo Saka and might get their wish with Gabriel Pec.
Liverpool are linked with players like Johan Bakayoko, who does represent a top option to deputise for Mohamed Salah and be part of the long term future. Gabriel Pec could be viewed similarly, as the young MLS star could prove a surprise package in the Premier League. Hence, Arsenal and Liverpool should consider making approaches for the players if they are satisfied with their respective evaluations.
