We are only into the sixth day of the January transfer window and already we have been linked with a £2 million move for Fulham’s Dimitar Berbatov, Salomon Kalou appears to be back on our radar and Porto’s Jackson Martinez has pretty much issued a ‘come and get me plea’ to Arsene Wenger, after the Colombian newly revealed his admiration for the club and its style of football.
There is no doubt that from now until the end of the month a lot more strikers will be linked with Arsenal, especially with Nicklas Bendtner out for a month, Olivier Giroud looking jaded and Theo Walcott also sidelined for while.
Diego Costa’s name has been making the rounds as of late. Earlier in the month it was reported Arsene Wenger is ready to trigger the Brazilian’s £32 million release clause, which had a majority of the Arsenal faithful excited and praying for it to happen.
Well it seems, according to a tweet from @Futbol_Mercado, that the Gunners have tabled a €38.5 million (£32 million) bid for the Atletico Madrid striker.
The tweet, posted up at 4:47am last night, read:
‘El Arsenal ofrece 38 millones y medio de euros por el delantero brasileño del Atlético de Madrid, Diego Costa.’
Which translates to – Arsenal offer €38.5 million for Atletico’s Brazilian striker Diego Costa.
I don’t know how credible this source actually is, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
Hopefully Arsene does realize that we need another striker to come in this Jan.
Why not Costa?
Expect and prepare for more rumours!
There is no way that this is true. Wenger won’t sign a striker especially not for £32 million
Lol…There is no way am gonna spend that much money on a world class player get me the likes of faded Kaluo and Vucinic
If he doesnt sign top class striker we will not lift the pl silver those are the facts and I am gooner long time before arsene be came le profseur
If Arsene Wenger wants a silver ware, he should sign a prolific striker this January. There is no gainsaying about it. Delay could be deadly.
Wenger is too storboun if not so what it’s 32m Pound to Arsenal I can bet if we fail to get a super striker this week Arsenal will not win any thing this season and said if he fail to win any thing this season he will walk away let wait and see.
I agree wid Arteta… We cant jst depend upon Giroud to lift a trophy esp NOT de bpl. We need world class strikers not jst any ordinary striker. A true goal poacher is all we need. #afc #goonerfamily
Some ignorant football fan will just write any how on public site, how can u ask wenger to buy small striker when u have plenty of them that cannot deliver against big side, gunners we need diego costa badly even if they ask for 40 million pounds give it them because we can’t win trophy if don’t have big striker.
