Arsenal willing to pay 90 million for La Liga star

Arsenal are looking to the transfer window with the Gunners seeking to add much needed options to their attacking department.

The Gunners has had to laid all their eggs on the Bukayo Saka basket to consistently come up with the goods but Saka has struggled badly with injuries this season as the consistent game time has taken its toll on the Arsenal forward, which has also affected his form.

Saka’s long-term backup, Reiss Nelson, was shipped out on loan to Fulham and Arsenal delved into the transfer market late on to sign Raheem Sterling but his performances have left a lot to be desired. Despite having a handful of games in his disposal, Sterling hasn’t lit up any fireworks and the club is unlikely to retain his services following the completion of the loan spell.

This essentially means that Arsenal will need to delve into the transfer market for a solid right winger that can challenge Saka and provide competition for places in the squad

According to the Leeds Press, Arsenal are willing to make a gigantic bid of 90 million pounds for Barcelona’s ace, Raphinha.

Arsenal had attempted to sign him when he was still at Leeds United, but the winger was hell bent on moving to Barcelona. His initial time with the Catalans was shrouded with struggles, but under new coach, Hansi Flick, Raphinha has had a new lease of life, and he’s in red hot form this season, scoring 12 goals and creating 10 assists in 17 games, making him one of the most in-form players in the world.

Signing Raphinha will be monumental for the Gunners, but they have to be weary of the threat Liverpool would pose, as the Reds are earmarking him as a shock replacement for Mo Salah, as his contract disputes linger.
