According to DH, Shamar Nicholson is interested in a move to the Premier League, and is also a huge fan of Arsenal.

What’s the story?

Well, DH believe the 29-cap Jamaica international could soon be leaving RSC Charleroi, as the Belgian side are already hunting for his replacement.

Nicholson has scored eight goals in 14 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season, while also providing three assists.

He also has ten goals in his 29 caps for Jamaica.

DH add that the 24-year-old does not feel he’s ready to play in the Premier League just yet, although he dreams of a move to England’s top-flight.

Interestingly, Everton, Southampton and Rangers all scouted Charleroi’s match against Anderlecht on Saturday, so perhaps we will see him move to the United Kingdom soon.

Should Arsenal sign Shamar Nicholson?

For now, Nicholson probably isn’t ready to play for a club of Arsenal’s size, although the Gunners should definitely keep an eye on him.

After all, if he does blossom into a superstar, he will surely choose them over other clubs given his love for the Gunners.

Encouragingly, Nicholson certainly seems to be improving.

Last season, he only scored nine goals in 33 Jupiler Pro League outings, but he’s already one goal away from matching that tally this term.

Mikel Arteta could soon need another centre-forward anyway, as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah’s contracts expire in June.

If he goes on to become anything like his international colleagues Michail Antonio and Leon Bailey, Arsenal should definitely keep an eye on him.
