Premier League leaders Arsenal are working on bringing Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez back to England. Mikel Arteta intends to test the Argentine not as a traditional center-forward, but on the left wing. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
According to FootballTransfers, the London club has already held initial talks with the player's representatives. Arteta highly values Alvarez's versatility and believes his adaptability will strengthen the team's attacking line.
This transfer could take place against the backdrop of uncertainty regarding the futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. The club's management is looking for a younger and more consistent option to replace the 32-year-old Trossard. Currently, Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz are the main options for the center-forward position.
Atletico Madrid is expected to demand over 100 million euros for the player. Since Alvarez has no intention of signing a new contract with the Spanish club, clubs like PSG and Barcelona may also compete for his signature in the summer transfer window.
