The Swede, who has scored 21 goals in 52 appearances, is a powerful, if not uncanny, force.<\/p>\n<p>Still, he has been let down by some strugglers, including Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, who have struggled to hit the high notes in Arsenal&#8217;s attacking line.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta needs something different, a bit of flair, a forward who can influence Arsenal&#8217;s success in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>Now, according to Football Transfers, Arsenal are in talks with Julian Alvarez&#8217;s agent amid reports that the versatile striker is looking to leave Atletico Madrid this summer.<\/p>\n<p>    Interestingly, Arteta has secret plans to use Alvarez in a slightly unconventional way, moving him away from the centre-forward position he created for himself in Spain and using him more dynamically. Perhaps he could become the Gunners&#8217; new Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.<\/p>\n<p>They will be keen to conclude a deal as soon as possible, with an early summer deal being discussed, especially since Paris Saint-Germain are also sniffing around. The transfer fee is expected to exceed \u20ac100m (\u00a387m).<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-alvarez-can-be-arsenal-39-s-new-aubameyang\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Alvarez_could_be_Arsenals_new_Aubameyang\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why Alvarez could be Arsenal&#8217;s new Aubameyang<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alvarez, 26, has developed into a talisman for Atletico Madrid, scoring 49 goals and providing 17 assists in 106 games for the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, they would have expected a huge success having spent \u00a381m to sign him from Manchester City in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>    Could he become the new Aubameyang? According to journalist Roy Nemer, the Argentina international developed into &#8220;the best forward in the world at the moment&#8221; last season, and there are several indicators that point to his potential.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, reports from Football Transfers suggest that Alvarez will be signed with a view to using him on the left wing.<\/p>\n<p>This is a position the right-footer is accustomed to, and one of the many areas he filled under Josep Guardiola&#8217;s wing at Manchester City before moving to Atletico and making the centre-forward position his own.<\/p>\n<p>It will not be easy for Aubameyang to reach the same standards he did when he was in Arsenal&#8217;s pomp. The Gabonese striker scored 92 goals in just 163 games for London, winning the FA Cup and tearing opponents to shreds with his blistering speed and tricks with the ball.<\/p>\n<p>He often played on the wing, corresponding to Alexandre Lacazette. Perhaps in this way we&#8217;ll see Alvarez combined with Goqueres&#8217; more physical style.<\/p>\n<p>    \u00c1lvarez has won Premier League titles before and has now developed into one of the world&#8217;s best players in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n<p>He is a natural goalscorer with a dynamic and expansive playing style. He fits the bill perfectly and could emulate Aubameyang to make an instant impact and lead the Gunners to further silverware.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"arsenal-line-up-move-to-sign-mateus-fernandes-the-new-declan-rice\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<p>                        <\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"He_would_transform_Arsenal_like_Rice_Gunners_prepare_for_80m_move\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tHe would transform Arsenal like Rice: Gunners prepare for \u00a380m move<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Arsenal could spend big this summer on signing a new midfielder and potentially the next Declan Rice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Arsenal team could make history by the end of the season, with Premier League and Champions League glory just a few games away.
