Tuesday Night Deal ✅: Player agent now spotted at LONDON Colney as meeting with Edu is scheduled to hold overnight – 6yrs contract with option for further season – announcement to be done early tomorrow morning – Welcome to Emirate

Even though Arsenal missed out on winning the title the previous year, Mikel Arteta’s team unquestionably improved during the 2022–2023 season. With the best defensive record in the competition, the team advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals and forced Manchester City to play in the final day of the Premier League season. They did, however, score five fewer goals than City, which indicates a crucial area for development.

Arsenal has been concentrating on finding a new number nine this summer, and they are interested in players like Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko. Finding a solid backup striker is just as important as looking for a starting striker, particularly in the event that Eddie Nketiah leaves the team.

According to recent reports, Edu Gaspar, the technical director of Arsenal, may have discovered the perfect answer in Samu Omorodion, a young striker for Atletico Madrid. Omorodion, who is being compared to Erling Haaland, has piqued Arsenal’s interest, according to the Sunday Mirror via football.london. The forward is also being pursued by Chelsea, Roma, Napoli, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal. Atletico Madrid has already turned down an offer from Chelsea and made Omorodion a new contract with an £85 million release clause.

It might be difficult to secure Omorodion because other clubs are showing a lot of interest. However, considering his potential and Haaland-like similarities, Arsenal might be wise to sign the young Spanish striker if Nketiah is sold for about £35 million.
