German football expert Raphael Honigstein believes Robert Lewandowski will not be making a move to Arsenal, or anywhere else for that matter, this summer.
When asked the question on talkSPORT’s Transfer Tavern Show, Honigstein said:
‘Lewandowski is a no-goer, simply because Dortmund haven’t got any other striker on their books right now, and they’ve made it very clear, almost dogmatically, that their not going to sell him.’
He went on to say:
‘Whatever happens, the very best is that he’ll be allowed to leave next season.
‘He’s still got two years left on his contract and for them its not really about the money, its about actually having a striker to play, and of course their in the Champions League. So it’s almost impossible he’ll go anywhere this season.’
Just last week the German club’s general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke confirmed that the Polish international will not be going anywhere this summer, even if they did receive bids for the 23-year-old’s services.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenaham have all been previously linked with Lewandowski, who had an exceptional season with Dortmund, finding the net 30 times in 46 appearances in all competitions for the reigning Bundesliga champions.
To be fair, I don’t think Arsene Wenger will be looking to sign another striker this summer, as he has already acquired Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, who both had a great campaign for their former clubs last season.
Perhaps if Robin van Persie leaves and Marouane Chamakh is sold then the Frenchman may decide to dive into the market for a replacement, but until this happens (if it does of course) I don’t think we’ll be seeing another striker come in anytime soon.
