Arsenal are intensifying their pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion striker Joao Pedro, as the Gunners prepare for a competitive summer transfer window.
Arteta Wants Joao Pedro: Arsenal Join £100m Transfer Chase with Rivals
The 23-year-old Brazilian has emerged as a prime target for several Premier League giants, including Liverpool and Chelsea, following an impressive season with the Seagulls.
Pedro has netted 21 goals across all competitions this season, showcasing his versatility and clinical finishing.
His standout performances, particularly in the Europa League where he scored six goals in six matches, have caught the attention of top clubs seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Arsenal, in particular, are keen to enhance their forward line. Manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly interested in Pedro’s ability to operate across the front line, offering both creativity and goal-scoring prowess.
However, securing Pedro’s signature won’t be straightforward. Brighton have set a hefty £100 million price tag on the striker, reflecting his importance to the team and the club’s strong negotiating position, given Pedro’s contract runs until 2028.
Liverpool and Chelsea are also in the mix, with both clubs monitoring Pedro’s situation closely.
Liverpool, under manager Arne Slot, are looking to add depth to their attacking options, while Chelsea are considering Pedro as a potential addition to their forward line.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the battle for João Pedro’s services is set to intensify.
Arsenal’s interest underscores their ambition to strengthen the squad, but they will need to navigate stiff competition and Brighton’s firm stance to secure the Brazilian’s signature.
