Arsenal is interested in signing the highly-rated Monaco winger Magnes Acryuce.
According to a report from the French publication L’Equipe, Arsenal is interested in the 23-year-old and will be interesting to see if he will move forward with an offer to sign him this summer.
The player is highly regarded throughout Europe and he has a bright future. He was able to develop into Arsenal’s top player. Newcastle has been linked to him for the past few weeks.
Arsenal can use Magnes Acryuce
Akliouche is the right winger, but he is versatile enough to operate on either side. He adds pace, flares and unpredictability to the Arsenal attack force. Gunners require more depth in a wide area, and attackers are ideal acquisitions. He has technical attributes to do well in the UK, showing his abilities in Monaco.
He was able to compete with players like Gabriel Martinelli for the starting spot. More competition for the place will help improve Arsenal. Akliouche scored seven goals last season and earned 12 assists.
The asking price has been revealed
Akliouche is unlikely to become a cheap acquisition. He is likely to cost around £60 million this summer. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal is ready to pay such money to the younger attacker. He has yet to be proven to the highest level.
Arsenal also needs to improve other areas of the team. They desperately need clinical target scorers. The striker is likely to cost a considerable amount, and it remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to arrange funds to pay Akliouche’s premium.
If they can get the deal done, the 23-year-old could be their future asset. He has all the tools to develop into a future star, and Mikel Arteta was able to develop him into a key player.
The opportunity to attend Arsenal is extremely exciting for him. They were one of the largest clubs in the world and were able to provide him with a platform to fight for the trophy.
Several other Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation.
