Arsenal are ready to make a £59m bid for the 'Beast' club.

We are heading into the main part of the transfer window and, as it stands now, Arsenal They haven't made a move yet.

Mikel Arteta The side is still on Premier League The title race but have been completely wiped out by injuries to key players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Ethan Nwaneri and now William Saliba, making their lack of action so far particularly puzzling.

Add to that the fact that former title rivals Manchester City are doing their best to make signings this month and look set to take the title. Omar Marmoush is very sexyIt is easy to understand why some Arsenal fans are starting to worry.

However, they may not need to for much longer, with recent reports touting a knowledgeable striker to move to the Emirates this month, a striker who could be the answer to Marmoush.

Arsenal is targeting a goal of its own

According to According to the latest report from SpainArsenal have maintained a strong interest in RB Leipzig star Benjamin Shishko.

In fact, the report has now revealed that the Gunners have 'decided to intensify' their pursuit of the Slovenian and are prepared to make a bid of around €70m – £59m – to get the deal done this month.

The report claims that this development is due to Arteta lobbying the board, but as it stands, it is unclear whether an offer like this would be enough to tempt Leipzig to sell.

It could be an expensive and difficult transfer to get over the line this month, but given Shishko's impressive form over the last year or so and the potential many believe he possesses, it is a deal worth fighting for, especially as he could be the answer to Arsenal. To Marmoush.

Why will Cechko Marmoush be at Arsenal?

Well, there are a few reasons why Shishko is Arsenal's answer to Marmoush's signing for Manchester City this month.

The first is the obvious fact that this signing, like the reigning champions, would represent the North London side making a major push in the German transfer market and signing one of the most exciting players in the Bundesliga.

This point of similarity links to the second: this transfer would represent the Gunners signing an incredibly dangerous striker who could come in and impact the first team straight away, similar to City's goal.

For example, in just 42 appearances for Leipzig last season, the 'beast' born Radeci Analyst Ben Mattinson called itAnd he scored He scored 18 goals and provided two assistswhile this year, it is He scored 16 goals and one assist In 25 games, that equates to an average of sharing a goal every 2.1 games last season, and every 1.56 games this season.

For his part, the Egyptian phenomenon caught fire 23 goals and one assist In 41 matches with Eintracht Frankfurt last year, which is a huge number 34 in 26 games this seasonwhich amounts to an average goal contribution every 1.78 and 0.76 matches respectively.

Now, while the similarities between the two strikers and their potential moves to the Premier League are clear, there are two key differences between them that could work in the Gunners' favour, the first being their ages.

The Cairo-born star is set to turn 26 in a couple of weeks, while the former Red Bull Salzburg star won't turn 22 until the end of the season.

While this may not sound like much on paper, it does suggest that the latter will be able to perform at the highest level for a much longer period and has years to reach his full potential.

For example, according to research conducted By The Athletic a few years agoThe age at which wide players peak is widely reported to be 26, while midfielders don't reach their peak until the age of 27, and when you take into account how much the Leipzig star has improved season after season, who knows how good he will be this season. Five years or so.

Finally, Arteta has shown a preference for signing physical players in recent years, and at a massive 6ft 5, it's fair to say that Shsko is undoubtedly the more fearsome striker compared to the 6ft 6 Marmosh, and just the thought of the powerful Slovenian team finishing off a kick. Fixed for Nicolas Joffre should terrify the rest of the league.

Ultimately, Arsenal desperately need attacking reinforcements this month, and although it won't come cheap, the board must do everything they can to sign Shsko or risk falling behind the competition.
