Some Arsenal fans are proposing a swap deal involving one of their star players after being linked at the weekend with a move for Luka Jovic.

According to The Mirror (March 29, page 77), Arsenal will consider a move for Jovic if he’s allowed to leave Real Madrid – although Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen.

The Serbian cost Real £55 million from Frankfurt last summer, but has scored just twice in 24 games.

That, it seems, has not deterred the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham, although it is suggested that the Gunners are looking for a loan deal.

Arsenal are not currently short of strikers, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel Martinelli and Eddie Nketiah to call on.

But doubts over Aumabeyang’s future – with Chelsea among the clubs being credited with an interest as the 30-year-old nears the final year of his contract – could convince the Gunners to consider alternatives.

And the following Arsenal fans think their side should offer the latter in exchange for Jovic and a Real Madrid teammate with whom the Gunners are already familiar.
