Can Arsenal convince Julian Alvarez?
However, Arsenal are his only realistic option for a move this summer. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will be able to convince the player to join the club. It’s no secret that they need a quality striker this summer.
Viktor Gökeres has had a decent run since joining the London club, but the Sweden international may be quite mediocre in terms of his overall football ability. Arsenal need to consider investing in a complete forward who can help create chances and find the back of the net.
The 26-year-old striker scored 20 goals and provided nine assists last season.

Alvarez could improve Arsenal
Alvarez would be an unusual acquisition. He has proven his quality both in La Liga and in his home country. He also had a very impressive performance with Manchester City in the Premier League. There is no doubt that he can make an immediate impact on Arsenal and help the team grow. However, the Premier League champions will need to convince the player.
They can afford to pay Atletico Madrid a high price, but convincing the player will not be easy. It seems that Barcelona wants to remain in Spain. It will be interesting to see if the Spanish champions make a convincing offer to sign the player in the coming weeks.
They need to find a quality long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski and the 2022 World Cup winner would be a great investment.
