Arsenal’s pursuit of a new forward was prompted by Arteta’s urgent need for a player worth £77 million.

Arteta is in dire need of a new forward, and Arsenal has offered him a £77 million contract.

 

Arsenal has been granted the opportunity to acquire Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani during the

 

 

 

January transfer window, as reported by Sami Mokbel of The Daily Mail. Kolo Muani is considered superfluous to requirements at the Parc des Princes due to his descent in Luis Enrique’s hierarchy.

 

 

He has only made two starts in 10 Ligue 1 games, but he has scored twice and provided one assist.In September 2023, the French forward transferred from Eintracht Frankfurt to the Parisians for an impressive £77 million.

 

 

 

The 26-year-old, who is currently out of favor, has been significantly affected by the price tag. It is probable that he will depart the club in either January or the following summer.

 

 

 

Arsenal has been granted the opportunity to acquire Kolo Muani; however, they have yet to determine whether or not to pursue this option. He has three years remaining on his contract with PSG. Randal Kolo Muani 2024-25 PSG Stats (Ligue 1) Appearances Ten objectives 2.

alleges that Mikel Arteta is “desperately pushing for an attacker” this January.

 

 

 

The Gunners are currently in pursuit of Liverpool at the summit of the Premier League and could benefit from additional offensive capabilities, particularly in light of the potential four-month absence of Bukayo Saka. Gabriel Jesus has recently resumed his career by consistently scoring goals during the winter.

 

 

 

However, it is unrealistic to anticipate that he will remain the club’s solitary number nine. Kolo Muani and Jesus could alternate in the role of heading the line for the North Londoners on all fronts.

 

 

 

Kolo Muani’s ability to perform on the right wing could also assist Arteta in compensating for Saka’s absence. It is effortless to overlook the devastating impact of the 27-cap France international, who scored 26 goals and provided 17 assists in 50 games while playing for Frankfurt.

 

 

 

Kolo Muani’s valuation by Paris Saint-Germain is not disclosed; however, it is probable that the Parisians will not purchase him at a low price, considering the sum they paid for him two years ago.

 

 

 

Arsenal may be more interested in a loan deal if it is feasible, as it would allow them to enhance their squad in other areas. Additionally, they are currently monitoring Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell.

 

 

 

The Emirates is not the sole prospective escape route from his Parisian struggles. Tottenham Hotspur, the Gunners’ North London rivals, are also investigating a potential transfer, and Manchester United and Liverpool have also been monitoring the situation.
