Arsenal are reportedly closing in on a deal to bring in Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori from Serie A side Bologna, and this development could have a significant impact on their transfer plans.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal have scheduled a new plan for Calafiori, with the first part of his medical set to take place in London. This is a major boost for the Gunners, who are looking to strengthen their defense ahead of the new season.
With Calafiori on the verge of joining the club, Arsenal could now be handed a boost in their bid to sign a centre-forward. It has been widely reported that the Gunners are interested in Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres, and this development could see them clear the way to sign the 26-year-old.
Gyokeres has been in impressive form for Sporting Lisbon, scoring 26 goals in 54 appearances in all competitions. He has also been praised by Portugal manager Roberto Martinez, who has hailed him as one of the best signings in the European market last summer.
However, it appears that Atletico Madrid are no longer in the running to sign Gyokeres, after agreeing a deal with Girona to sign striker Artem Dovbyk. This development could see Arsenal clear the way to sign Gyokeres, and it would be a major coup for Mikel Arteta and his team.
Gyokeres has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, and it would be a major boost for Arsenal to sign him. He has the ability to score goals and create chances for his teammates, and he would be a valuable addition to the Gunners’ attack.
In conclusion, Arsenal’s pursuit of Calafiori and Gyokeres is a major story in the transfer window, and it could have a significant impact on the team’s chances of success in the new season. Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates on this story and all the latest transfer news.
