Arsenal to sign striker? Is this is the one they’ve been waiting for. Possibly. Gunners fans across the world will be hitting YouTube and FBref.com to see what’s what with Borja Mayoral. A brief precis: he’s the strike partner of Mason Greenwood at Getafe, is 26 and has never played for Spain. So make of that what you will. The price is quoted at £22m, rather cheaper than Ivan Toney. There’s links with a midfielder, too, Martín Zubimendi of Real Sociedad, Mikel Arteta’s former club, with a doable £50m release clause.
Elsewhere in north London, Tottenham are still in the hunt for Conor Gallagher, last seen wearing the Chelsea armband in the loss at Middlesbrough. That sale would raise money for Chelsea’s potential spree. There’s wild talk of buying Victor Osimhen out there. Radu Dragusin, a favourite of this page this month, is coming to Spurs, with Eric Dier heading to Bayern Munich to clear space in the squad.
