Arsenal turns towards Ligue 1 star after Alvarez snub

Selling two attackers within just a few hours means Arsenal are keen to bring in at least one replacement before the transfer window closes.

The Gunners have agreed to sell Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, while it appears they have failed in their efforts to lure Julian Alvarez back to the Premier League. The Argentine is the attacker they most want to add to their squad this summer, but the World Cup winner insists he will not move to Arsenal in this window and wants only Barcelona.

Arsenal must now find another solution, as they cannot continue waiting for Alvarez. With limited time remaining, the Gunners need to act quickly if they want to strengthen their attack before the deadline.

According to Fichajes, Arsenal have turned their attention towards a move for Lille’s Matías Fernández-Pardo. The Belgian has emerged as another option as the Gunners search for an attacker capable of adding depth to their squad.

The move would put Arsenal in competition with Liverpool and Newcastle United for Fernández-Pardo’s signature, as both clubs have already held talks over a potential move for the attacker.

The Belgian appears destined to play Premier League football this season, and Arsenal are the latest club to show interest in signing him. Their need for attacking reinforcements could make their interest particularly serious following the agreements for Jesus and Martinelli to leave.

With the transfer window approaching its conclusion, Arsenal cannot afford to spend too much time considering their options. They need to determine whether Fernández-Pardo can provide the attacking quality required to strengthen Arteta’s squad.
