Arsenal believes they face paying more for in-form striker if they wait

Arsenal faces the prospect of paying more for forward Nicolo Tresoldi if they delay any potential deal, according to reports. The Germany Under-21 international has been one of the top scorers in European football recently while playing for Club Brugge. Arsenal monitored Tresoldi's progress and expressed interest in signing him in the past, but chose not to make an approach during the previous transfer window.

Several other top clubs also pursued the forward, but Arsenal ultimately signed Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge instead.

Tresoldi's impressive scoring form has attracted attention from multiple clubs, making it likely that he will face increased competition for his signature if Arsenal wait until the summer to make a move. Club Brugge is hesitant to let such a key player depart early in the transfer window, as he remains integral to their plans. This situation leaves Arsenal with a difficult decision to make, weighing the potential financial implications of waiting against the challenges of completing a transfer early in the window.
