Arsenal is reportedly considering a surprising move for Roberto Firmino as they seek to address their striker shortage.
The ex-Liverpool forward has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal, bringing the transfer closer to completion.
Arsenal’s striker crisis has deepened due to multiple injuries, with key players like Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Jesus all unavailable. This forced Mikel Arteta to field an attacking trio of Leandro Trossard, Ethan Nwaneri, and Raheem Sterling in a recent clash against Leicester City.
Despite struggling for most of the game, Arteta’s late substitution of Mikel Merino turned the tide, as the midfielder scored twice to secure the victory.
Firmino’s potential arrival could provide a much-needed boost to Arsenal’s attack, bringing experience and versatility to Arteta’s squad.
