Arsenal news: Perez – Lookman

Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer speculation from icfootballnews featuring the likes of Ayoze Perez, Ademola Lookman and Joao Pedro that we think you may have missed…

Reporter Iomie Stanley has told Mikel Arteta the the players he should look to bring to ARSENAL in the summer  window, as he would like Atalanta star Ademola Lookman to be brought to the Emirates.

The north London club finished second behind Premier League champions Liverpool this season and failed to add to the single trophy – the 2020 FA Cup – won by Arteta during his five-and-a-half-year reign to date.

The fact that Arsenal have had to use midfielder Mikel Merino as their main striker even since the January window closed as got many fans hoping that a new forward is signed this transfer window if they want to win some trophies next season.

And if Arsenal need further attacking options in the summer window after they manage to get a new striker, they might want to delve into that transfer kitty and possibly bring Lookman to the Emirates.

According to GiveMeSport, the forward has been offered to the Gunners.

Lookman has been a revelation in Italy, amassing 20 goals and seven assists in 40 appearances this season and Stanley says that he could be an amazing signing for the Gunners, he told icfootballnews: He looked amazing again this season, he has been brilliant since his move to Italian football.

‘He has shown pace, quality and the ability to find the back of the net on a regular basis.

‘Arsenal have a world class attack, but have players that cannot score the amount of goals that Arteta would like, adding a new striker to the attack will be the number one priority for Arsenal this summer, but maybe another winger will be added too.

‘Nobody can tell what Arteta can do, but Lookman is certainly a player that could make an impact in that Arsenal shirt.

‘And to be honest, if he wants to come back to the Premier League, ARSENAL would be a very good option for the winger.

SHOCK AYOZE PEREZ CLAIMED MADE

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has told CasinoHawks, who offer the latest online casinos, that ARSENAL need to sign ex-Newcastle forward Ayoze Perez.

Despite missing four months through injury, Kai Havertz is the club’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with just nine goals and they can no longer rely on Gabriel Jesus thanks to his fitness issues.

Plenty of names have been linked with the Emirates including Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, while reports suggest their striker search is down to two names: RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres.

However – Former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes has claimed that Arsenal should sign Perez, who spent eight-and-a-half years in England with Newcastle United and Leicester City, yet hit double figures in the league just once.

He said: “If Arsenal want a striker from LaLiga, a Spaniard who comes to mind right now is Perez.

“He left Betis for Villarreal, and he’s become desirable for the big teams because he’s scored a lot of goals and is playing very well.

“Another name is Alexander Sorloth, at the start of the season I thought he was going to be one of the most important strikers in our league,

“If you dig a little deeper into the search for players who are starting to emerge they’re cheaper, so you have to make that decision.

“Emerging players are cheaper, but you need players that can instantly perform in the Premier League.”

IcFootballnews say…

The Spaniard turns 32 in the summer so it would seem unlikely that ARSENAL would look at him, but this has been the best season of his career by far, with 22 goals in 32 games.

He is enjoying his football over in La Lia, but despite his impressive season, this is one deal that will surely not happen.

ARSENAL BACKED TO SIGN JOAO PEDRO

Colin Kazim-Richards has urged ARSENAL to sign Joao Pedro from Brighton, with the Gunners looking to add a new attacker to the forward line that will add some silverware to the cabinet.

Pedro was incredible last season, scoring 20 goals in all competitions and has impressed once again this season albeit not being as prolific in front of goal, but he is really rated very highly by many bosses in the Premier League

Liverpool are one of a number of clubs that have been linked with a possible move for the attacker, as there is alot of speculation about the future of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, who has not impressed boss Arne Slot

But despite all the interest from Liverpool and Chelsea, Kazim-Richards has urged Arsenal to sign Joao Pedro from Brighton, claiming that he would do really well at the Emirates – He told betideas.com: “Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with Pedro. I think he’s an outstanding prospect.

“I’ve watched him a few times live, once this season at Arsenal. He stood out for me.

“He’s the type of player that I think would fit into Arsenal really well and I think he would give them something different to what they already have.

‘He’s good. He’s top shelf.”

Joao Pedro has been impressive for Brighton over the past few seasons and is good enough to join one of the big clubs, but to pay £100 million for the man is mad and we are sure that will not happen.

Brighton could be pricing Pedro out of the chance to join the likes of ARSENAL,, Liverpool or Chelsea with that asking price, but they dont want to lose the player and he may have to put in a transfer request if those clubs do come calling.
