After a difficult few weeks, arsenal Back to the road to victory Premier League Saturday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta The team had a tough task facing Leeds United at Elland Road but, unlike some opponents, they never really felt the pressure and ended up winning 4-0.
The only negative aspect of this encounter was Bukayo Saka He was injured in the warm-up game and it is unclear how long he will be absent.
The Hale End icon may not be at his best this season, but he remains the club’s best attacker, so fans should be excited by reports that Arsenal have been linked with a sensational striker who will help him fire up the ball again.
Arsenal target dreams of signing Saka
Considering how much money Arsenal spent in the summer, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them take a step back and wait in the winter window.
However, just because the Gunners haven’t made any moves this month, it doesn’t mean they won’t be looking forward to the summer transfer window.
In fact, it now appears that the club have set their sights on a world-class forward who can not only occupy his No.9 position but also help Saka achieve more.
at least according to a recent Spanish sports media reportsArsenal are said to still be very interested Julian Alvarez.
However, the report further reveals that the Gunners believe the inclusion of first-team players in the offer could give them an advantage over their rivals.
Interestingly, the two players mentioned in the story are Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, who have been discussed numerous times away from the Emirates Stadium over the past year or so.
It could be a complicated and expensive move to cross that line, especially given that he already Worth up to £80 million in recent weeks.
Why Alvarez would be Saka’s dream signing
It may sound simple, and it probably is, but the first and most important reason why Alvarez has Saka firing at Arsenal is that he is a output machine.
For example, in his first season at Atletico Madrid last season, he scored 29 goals and 8 assists in just 57 appearances and a total of 3967 minutes.
On average, there is a goal every 1.54 games, and even more impressively, there is a goal every 107.21 minutes.
This season, despite some struggles, the Argentina international still scored 11 goals and provided 5 assists in 30 games, playing a total of 2,297 minutes.
An average of one goal every 1.87 games or every 143.56 minutes is still reasonable.

In other words, even if the 26-year-old isn’t at his best, he’s a reliable source of goals and assists.
So whether he’s giving up chances or creating them for others, Saka is able to play alongside the 49-cap star and know that he will get to where he needs to be.
Furthermore, even if he is not directly involved in the goals, the Kalcin-born dynamo’s presence on the pitch forces defenders to leave more space for the Gunners’ other attackers.
Ultimately, there is no doubt whether he can do it in the Premier League.
After all, in two seasons at Manchester City, he made 103 appearances, played a total of 6,007 minutes, scored 36 goals and provided 19 assists.
This means prolific “monster”, known as Argentinian journalist Pablo Gonzalezaveraging a goal involved every 1.87 games or every 109.21 minutes.
Ultimately, this is unlikely to be an easy deal, but given Alvarez’s immense ability and the fact that he can supercharge Saka, Arsenal will have to go all out to land him in the summer.
