Arsenal target names Emirates as the ground he’s eager to play at

For some time now, Arsenal have been craving a top striker. He should have arrived last summer, but did not.

Now, with Viktor Gyökeres finally signed, the Gunners appear to have filled that gap.

But before the Swede’s arrival, it seemed every striker under the sun was linked with a move to the Emirates. One of those names was Charalampos Kostoulas.

The 18-year-old had a standout breakthrough season with Olympiacos and was briefly mentioned in connection with Arsenal. However, those rumours never turned into a formal bid.

Still, the Greek talent has shown signs of admiration for the club.

Kostoulas reveals admiration for Arsenal

Brighton were the ones who acted, securing Kostoulas for £29.78 million. While the Seagulls landed the youngster, Gooners will be interested in what the teenager had to say about Arsenal.

Speaking via Brighton’s official YouTube channel, when asked which Premier League stadium he was most excited to play at, Kostoulas replied:
“I think I would say against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.”

From that answer alone, it is clear that had Arsenal made a move, the striker might not have needed much convincing.

But for now, he is at Brighton.
