Arsenal Open Talks For €20m Hitman, Player Wants Move

By mac14 on August 26, 2014

Alessio Cerci is keen on moving to Arsenal after Arsene Wenger opened talks with Torino over a potential deal for the €20m-rated forward, reports in Italy claim today.

It looks like we’re now frantically trying to bring in a striker before the window slams shut at the end of the month as Olivier Giroud is facing three months on the sidelines with a broken foot.

Sky Sports Italia journalist Gianluca di Marzio claims Arsenal are showing a keen interest in Torino striker Alessio Cerci and it’s understood we’re now pushing to try and thrash out a deal with the Italians after opening negotiations.

Torino apparently want around €20m for the 27-year-old but Italian outlet Tuttosport says that Cerci would jump at the chance of moving to the Emirates if we can get a deal agreed.

The Italian international has been linked with several Premier League clubs in the past and the likes of AC Milan and Roma are understood to be interested as well this summer, but I’m not convinced he’s the player we should be looking at.

He’s predominantly a winger and can also play as a second striker, but he isn’t a target man who can play with his back to goal and hold the ball up, and that’s exactly the type of striker we need if Giroud is in fact ruled out for three months.

Also, if Arsene is going to bring in a versatile forward in the mold of Cerci, I’d rather we just took a punt on someone like Loic Remy. He’s available for half the price and has experience in the Premier League, so would be far less of a risk.

We’ll have to see what the boss decides but lets pray we can bring in another striker before the window shuts on 1st September as we’re screwed if Giroud is sidelined for any length of time. We needed another forward even with him fit so we desperately need to sign someone now he’s injured.

Giroud is a nice player. He’s not the best though. Sanogo is worthless. So yeah we really need to buy an out and out striker. Loic Remy of QPR and Gignac of Marseille seem the most viable options at the moment.

I wouldnt mind even spending 20 million to get Falcao on loan. He’s worth it.

I love the support some of our fans give our players.Sanogo is not useless and is a very good up and coming talent.Stop with all this player that player and support the players that play for your club.I’m fed up with two-bob supporters who make our gooner fan base a laughing stock.

Do yourself’s a favour support the players and the club or F Off.

What we need is best striker, and defenssive midfielder, and good defender, because arsenal is bigger club in England.Because we won’t manager Wenger to look forward.
