Arsenal is interested in signing Brighton attacker Joan Pedro during the summer transfer, and the Seagulls are willing to sell him at a reasonable price this summer.
According to reports from the Sun, they have set a asking price of £70 million for the 23-year-old Brazilian. The report claims that Liverpool and players are interested.
Arsenal needs to reinforce the attack
The player has scored 10 goals for his name in the Premier League this season, demonstrating a quality acquisition of Arsenal. They need more cutting edge in the last third, and the Brazilians add goals and creativity to the side. He could prove to be an upgrade to his fellow countryman, Gabriel Jesus, who was unable to score goals consistently.
South America is described as “an incredible football player” by Brighton manager Fabian Hazeler.
Pedro is only 23 years old and has been able to improve with his coaching and experience. He was able to develop into a reliable Premier League attacker with proper guidance. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal is ready to pay him £70 million. That’s a fair amount for players who have yet to prove at the highest level.
Arsenal will probably look to him this summer for a more reasonable amount. It is still unknown how the situation will develop. Chelsea have also seen Brazilians.
Arsenal can use Joao Pedro
It’s not difficult for Arsenal to convince a striker to join the club. They are one of the largest clubs in the world and you’ll want to compete with them at a high level. They were able to provide him with a platform to compete in the Champions League and compete for the league title.
Arsenal has linked multiple strikers this summer, and it will be interesting to see who they will sign. Signing scorers is a priority for them and heading towards the summer transfer window.
