Arsenal in for Giovinco by AT
With Theo Walcott having been ruled out for the rest of the the season and Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner continuing his spell on the sidelines, Arsenal are rather short of options in attack. Olivier Giroud seems to be Arsene Wenger’s only option at the moment, with Lukas Podolski still seemingly coming to grips with an injury-ravaged first half of the season.
However, if media reports are to be believed, Arsenal fans may have reason to be excited. A report from The Metro suggests that Gunners’ boss Arsene Wenger has made an inquiry into the availability of Juventus striker Sebastian Giovinco, who’s agent has come out and confirmed that talks have taken place with the English side over the possibility of a loan deal till the end of the season.
The agent, Claudio Pasqualin, was quoted as saying: “We have had contact with Arsenal. It was a request for information about his situation. There was nothing more [at the moment].”
The report from The Metro also goes on to suggest that the Italian international, who has started only a handful of games for the Serie A Champions so far this season, is desperate for more football as he looks to win a place for himself in the Azzurri squad for the World Cup in Brazil. It is understood that the 26-year-old is open to a move away from Italy in his fight to make the Italian squad for the grand tournament.
In my opinion, I think Sebastian Giovinco would be a solid temporary solution for Arsenal’s injury issues. Firstly, he is a typical goal-poacher and can produce a goal in tight situations. The pint-sized striker also offers something different to Olivier Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner who are both target men in one way or another. Also, his versatility will also prove to be a huge asset for the team, the little Italian can play up front on his own, behind the main striker or even wide on either flank.
Personally, I would love to see him at the Emirates. While he may not be what most of us would term ‘world class’, he certainly is a very decent option to have till the end of the season. Besides, it really is hard to see us signing a Luis Suarez or a Jackson Martinez in the current transfer window.

Reported Arsenal injury news, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson all captured in the update Arsena l midfielder Thomas Partey picked up an injury to his right thigh in training on Friday and did not feature in the 2-1 win over Fulham at the weekend. The club have described the problem as tightness in the muscle, rather than a pull or a tear, which indicates the Ghanaian international won’t be out of contention for too long. Oleksandr Zinchenko also missed the game on Saturday and it’s unlikely that he’ll be spending much time on the treatment table either. The Ukrainian international has a minor sprain in his left knee and he was left out for the Fulham match as a precaution. It would suggest that the defender will be available to face Aston Villa on Wednesday evening, while Partey may need a bit longer to recover. Fans will, though, be hoping he is back for the trip to play Manchester United next weekend. Reiss Nelson has not featured this campaign due to a muscular

Official: Runar Alex Runarsson signs for Arsenal

Image
Arsenal have completed a deal to sign Runar Alex Runarsson from Dijon today, as confirmed by their official website. Runarsson joined Dijon from FC Nordsjaelland, and although he started as first choice, underwhelming performances saw him lose his place to Alfred Gomis. He played 45 games for the Ligue 1 side. His signing has been championed by goalkeeping coach Inaki Cana Pavon who worked with him in Denmark, and that relationship played a key part in Arsenal’s decision to bring him in. The goalkeeper will come in as replacement for Emiliano Martinez, who quit the club to join Aston Villa last week. Welcome to The Arsenal, Alex Runarsson 🔴 👋 @runaralex — Arsenal (@Arsenal) September 21, 2020 Football.London claims the goalkeeper has cost just £1 Million, which could well give us a much-needed boost to our finances as we look to strengthen our midfield, with strong links with both Houssem Aouar and Thomas Partey. Runarsson will wear the number 13 shirt this seas
