The North London club are leading the race to sign the hot-shot after diverting their attention from Benjamin Sesko. It has been claimed in Portugal that there is a ‘good chance’ that…

For the last three seasons, Arsenal have shown they are capable enough to win the Premier League. The issue is that they still haven’t since 2004. Mikel Arteta’s side have recorded a hat-trick of second-place finishes and twice surpassed the 80-point mark, yet are without a major trophy of any kind in the five years after the first coronavirus lockdown. It’s been a paradoxically heartwarming and agonising half-decade for the red half of north London. The Gunners have been completely reinvented under Arteta and have shaken off the shackles of crisis that restricted them during the final seasons of Arsene…
