Arsenal are ready to make an 11th hour move for Juventus
striker, Alvaro Morata.
AS reports that Mikel Arteta’s assistant, Miguel Molina, has
even called Morata to convince him about the move.
The Gunners have so far failed in their attempts to sign
Dusan Vlahovic, who has joined Juventus, while Alexander Isak looks set to stay
at Real Sociedad until the summer.
But Arsenal are looking very light in attack after loaning
out Folarin Balogun, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah could
also leave.
If both players leave on deadline day, Arteta will be left
with Alexandre Lacazette as the only senior striker for the rest of the season
The Premier League side are still trying to bring in a new
forward before Monday night’s deadline and are attempting to pull off a
complicated deal for Morata.
The Spaniard is currently on loan at Juventus from Atletico
Madrid, but Vlahovic’s arrival means the Serie A giants would be prepared to
terminate his loan.
He had been linked with a loan switch to Barcelona, but
Atleti have made it clear they will not strengthen a rival and will only loan
Morata to a foreign club.
Molina, who previously worked at Atletico while Morata was
also there, outlined how he would fit into the team as well as selling the
Arsenal project, even describing the 29-year-old as the ‘missing piece’ of the
puzzle.
