“Arteta is k!lling our beautiful game… He’s signing all the players I have instructed Liverpool to sign before I left but this very last one I won’t watch him get the deal done, something must done now”: Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reacts to the Arsenal latest transfer news, report Arteta to FIFA for agreeing personal terms to sign Liverpool top target

“Arteta is killing our beautiful game…” He’s signing all of the players I told Liverpool to sign before I left, but I won’t stand by and watch him complete the transaction; something has to be done right now.” Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reacts to Arsenal’s newest transfer news, reporting Arteta to FIFA for accepting personal terms to sign Liverpool’s top target.

Arsenal have been connected with Benjamin Sesko, Dusan Vlahovic, and Viktor Gyokeres in recent months, as their search for a lethal striker continues until 2025.

Gabriel Jesus has not scored in over 300 minutes of football this season across all competitions, underscoring the team’s desperate need for a consistent marksman with each passing appearance.

Despite shortlisting options from other parts of Europe, the Gunners are not ruling out looking for a forward in the Premier League, with Jhon Duran the most recent addition to their list, according to Fichajes (via Caught Offside).

The Aston Villa striker has had a fantastic season thus far, netting seven goals in all competitions despite playing a supporting role behind Ollie Watkins for much of the season. Duran averages a goal per 57 minutes, outperforming some of the continent’s top players.

He is also coveted by Barcelona, and his asking price is anticipated to be about £75 million, according to the source, which the Catalans may not be willing to pay. Thus, Arsenal may have an advantage in their bid to sign him, however it remains to be seen whether other clubs are interested in the Aston Villa wonder.

Duran would be a dream signing!
Jhon Duran is an out-and-out goal striker. His numbers off the bench outperform several players who play frequently for their teams abroad in Europe, and the Colombian is a tried-and-true alternative not just in the Premier League but also in the Champions League.

In fact, four of his seven goals have allowed the Clarets to win by one goal, demonstrating that he can be relied on to perform under pressure – a profile Mikel Arteta would love in future title contests.

Arsenal would have to spend close to £75 million on almost any player they wanted, but Duran’s age is a significant benefit. He will turn 21 in December, and if he stays in shape, the South American has the potential to be the Premier League’s best striker for the next decade.

The chance of playing on a regular basis for one of the league’s championship contenders would undoubtedly interest the player, and Unai Emery’s stance on his probable sale will certainly play a role in any potential transfer next year.
