OFFICIAL NOW: Arsenal finally trigger clause to sign £80m profilic attacker, agent in London to conclude deal ahead of January transfer

OFFICIAL NOW: Arsenal has finally activated a provision to buy a profiled attacker for £80 million, and an agency in London is expected to finalise the transaction before the January transfer window.

According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are apparently considering making a bid to acquire the services of Geovany Quenda, who is a standout player for Sporting CP.

As a result of Ruben Amorim’s leadership, the Lions have been able to achieve a significant deal of success in recent years, including winning two league titles and many important domestic cup events. This season has also gotten off to a fantastic start for them, as they have won all 11 of their matches in Liga Portugal and are now in first place in the standings.

In addition, they have been performing exceptionally well in the Champions League, as they are presently in second place on the standings, just behind Liverpool, and they have not suffered a single loss in this competition. In the beginning of this month, the Portuguese giants even defeated Manchester City, the winners of the Premier League, by a score of 4-1.

Therefore, as a result of Sporting’s recent achievements, major clubs all across Europe have been keeping a close eye on its great players. In order to take Erik ten Hag’s place, Manchester United has already acquired Amorim through a transfer. Furthermore, in recent years, Viktor Gyokeres and Ousmane Diomande have been subject to speculation regarding their potential departure from the club.

To Arsenal, from Quenda
Right now, It has been reported by Caught Offside that Quenda has also begun to catch the attention of a number of major teams located around Europe, with Arsenal being one of the clubs that has expressed interest in the player.

The present contract of the 17-year-old player includes a release clause of £84 million, and he is under contract with Sporting until the year 2027. Therefore, in order to entice him away from Jose Alvalade Stadium in the next year, Arsenal will need to make a significant financial investment.

Nevertheless, according to the source, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, and Juventus are all now in the process of making plans to acquire his services.

Because of the relationship between United and Amorim, United has an edge in this competition; hence, it will be very challenging for the North London club to convince him to go to the Emirates Stadium in the following year.

Despite the fact that Quenda is primarily a right-footed right winger, he has also played the right wing back position for Sporting under Amorim. The player is speedy, technically sound, able to dribble past opposing defenders in tight areas, possesses the ability to play threading passes between the lines, and also puts in a lot of effort even when he does not have possession of the ball.

The Portuguese player is someone who boasts a great deal of skill and has the ability to develop into a striker of the highest calibre in the future. The question of whether Arsenal will finally be able to prevail over their competitors in the competition to recruit him is going to be an intriguing one to watch.
