Arsenal feel confident they can seal a deal for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez. Gunners leaders believe terms with the Spanish team and player will not cause problems. Mikel Arteta wants the striker to lead his attack for the upcoming season.
The Barcelona Factor
Barcelona also want Alvarez, but Atletico refuse to sell him to a La Liga rival. That decision gives Arsenal a strong advantage in talks for the 26-year-old forward. Alvarez wants a move, so Arsenal remain the top choice outside of Spain.
Potential Swap Deal
Reports claim Arsenal could offer cash plus striker Viktor Gyokeres to complete the move. Gyokeres joined London last year, but Arsenal want Alvarez to upgrade their front line. Arsenal are willing to spend big money to bring the Argentina star to London.
