ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Arteta could sign Arsenal the next Van Persie in £87m in the summer

The “Mexican Machine” could be the one to lead Arsenal to the Premier League title. Arsenal have been an intriguing team to watch so far this season,

As despite not starting the campaign at the same frenetic pace that they did last year, after 15 games, they once again find themselves atop the Premier League, with a two-point cushion to Liverpool in second place.

While they have yet to be quite as free-flowing as last year, the Gunners are certainly more defensively solid and can boast one of the best defences in the league.

One thing Mikel Arteta’s men have carried over from last year, however, is their never-say-die attitude,

Which was on full show against Luton Town as Declan Rice headed home the winner with seconds left to go.

For as impressive as the north Londoners have been, though,

They will need to start scoring more goals if they are to win the league.

So fans should be excited with the news that they are currently linked with one of the most prolific goalscorers in Europe, and a man that could replicate Robin van Persie: Santiago Gimenez.

Arsenal thinks Santiago Gimenez can become a world class player

According to the French publication L’equipe, Arsenal are one of several clubs linked to the prolific Feyenoord striker for a potential transfer in 2024.

The Mexican marksman has been tearing it up in the Netherlands for Feyenoord this season

And has caught the eye of the Gunners thanks to his ludicrous scoring record.

In all competitions this season, the 22-year-old has scored 21 goals in 23 appearances,

And over his entire spell with the Rotterdam outfit, he has scored 43 goals in 64 appearances.

Unsurprisingly, the “insane” finisher, as described by U23 Scout Antonio Mango,

Is not going to come cheap, with 90min reporting that it will take an offer in excess of the Eredivisie transfer record, 

Which stands at £87m – Antony’s transfer to Manchester United.
