Arsenal line up January swoop for Club Brugge goal machine Nicolo Tresoldi as Mikel Arteta seeks striker firepower

Arsenal line up January swoop for Club Brugge goal machine Nicolo Tresoldi as Mikel Arteta seeks striker firepower

Arsenal are reportedly considering a January transfer for Club Brugge's prolific striker Nicolo Tresoldi in a bid to bolster their attacking options under manager Mikel Arteta. The search for a reliable goalscorer comes amid concerns over the form of Victor Gyokeres, who has yet to find the back of the net this season despite a hefty £63.5 million price tag.

Tresoldi's exceptional form on the European stage, where he has scored nine goals in just 12 appearances across all competitions, has caught the attention of the Gunners. The forward's goalscoring exploits, including a hat-trick against Inter Milan, have sparked European interest from other top clubs, most notably AC Milan. Arsenal, already familiar with Brugge from a £35 million signing for Christos Tzolis last summer, may have an advantage in negotiations.

However, securing Tresoldi could prove costly, as Brugge previously rejected a £30 million offer from Roma for the German striker.
