Arsenal eyes Stuttgart Star Serhou Guirassy as Gabriel Jesus replacement
Arsenal is considering Serhou Guirassy of Stuttgart as a potential replacement for Gabriel Jesus. The Gunners, haunted by the age-old complaint of a lack of clinical touch, are keen to expand their attacking options, and Guirassy stands as a cost-effective alternative at less than €20 million.
According to Sky Germany, Guirassy, who has lit the Bundesliga ablaze with 16 league goals this season, has generated the interest of Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Arsenal sees an opportunity to grab the 27-year-old’s services and provide immediate firepower to their season.
Unlike the club’s previous practice of attracting players with a long-term vision, Guirassy’s existence would represent the North London club’s ‘win-now’ mentality.
The French striker’s prolific form and low-price tag make him a desirable option for Edu Gaspar and Stan Kroenke, who might save them millions of dollars.
If the deal is completed, Gabriel Jesus could be used as a versatile ‘plan B’ or competition out wide, adding depth to Mikel Arteta’s attacking arsenal.
Guirassy’s goal-scoring talent, despite his lack of Premier League experience, makes him an ideal fit for an Arsenal side looking to fight for the title.
In a related move, the Gunners are thinking about a swap deal for Salernitana’s Boulaye Dia, offering £13 million plus the promising Charlie Patino.
With Salernitana suffering at the bottom of Serie A, Arsenal hopes to capitalize on Dia’s goal-scoring abilities by providing a multi-pronged approach to fortifying their strike force in the January transfer window.
