Arsenal may be in the market for a new striker this summer and Genk goal machine Paul Onuachu would love to join the Gunners.
Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are both out of contract in 2022, meaning they could be sold this summer if a suitable offer arrives.
That means Edu and co will have to look for another option just in case they need one in – and it would be Onuachu’s dream to make the move.
Onuachu on Arsenal
Nigerian international striker Onuachu suggested in April that he loves Arsenal and grew up supporting the club, particularly admiring fellow African strikers Emmanuel Adebayor and Nwankwo Kanu.
The 27-year-old was an absolute goal machine for Arsenal last season, smashing 35 goals for Genk whilst also picking up five assists.
An absolute giant at 6ft 7in tall, Onuachu would bring something different to the Arsenal squad, but a £26million move to West Ham United currently seems more likely.
Onuachu agent comments on Gunners
One of Onuachu’s agents has now commented on the Arsenal talk whilst speaking to Own Goal Nigeria.
The representative admitted that he would like Arsenal to sign Onuachu because they’re the striker’s boyhood side.
They did though note that Arsenal haven’t made contact over a deal, making a move to North London seem unlikely.
“It will be nice if Arsenal want him as he is a boyhood fan of the team, but that is not the case at the moment,” said the representative.
“No contact has been made yet. We are only seeing it in the papers and on the internet,” they added.
