Arsenal have decisions to make over Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette – and they may well go for another striker.
Both Aubameyang and Lacazette are out of contract in 2021. If they won’t agree new deals soon, Arsenal may need to sell them this summer before they go for free.
The pair could both end up going, and Arsenal would be wise to pick out some striker targets for the summer window, just in case they need to bring one in.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this week that Arsenal have now added Serhou Guirassy to their wish list. The Amiens hitman has impressed this season, bagging nine goals in 23 games.
Yet with Amiens relegated to Ligue 2 after the French season was ended, Guirassy is expected to go. The fee involved may also be reducing as a result of the relegation and the global pandemic.
The French attacker is big and strong at 6ft 2in tall, but he also has a turn of pace and decent link-up play, enabling him to play as a lone striker effectively.
The Mail’s report carried quotes from intermediary agent Mark McKay, who suggested that Guirassy wants a move to the Premier League but a decision will come in time.
Now, Guirassy has taken to Twitter to admit that he is glad to hear that Arsenal and other Premier League teams want him, but that McKay isn’t the man to listen to on his future, pointing people towards his real agent Moussa Sissoko.
