Arsenal could be in contention to make a move for Juventus striker Moise Kean and the suggestion is that the player could be got for as little as £22.4m.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca DiMarzio, the North London club are ready to make a move for Kean but they face competition from many clubs including Barcelona, Everton and Sevilla.
Last season was a real breakthrough campaign for Kean who impressed whenever he was on the pitch. He ended up scoring 7 goals in 17 appearances.
Apart from his physical attributes, his mental toughness also came under the spotlight after he overcame racist abuse suffered in Italy.
But despite him being a very impressive player, the 19-year-old could be on his way out from Juventus as the club is looking to balance the books after signings such as the one they made for Matthijs de Light.
This could benefit the Gunners as they will be able to get the striker for a deal that is lower than what is generally being asked in the market. Kean is a pacy and powerful forward who has that one crucial quality that many good strikers have, an eye for goal.
While the Gunners already have two world-class forwards in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, the addition of Kean would certainly be a boost for the attack.
While it is nice to have one of the most exciting forwards at your club, it also does put the future of Eddie Nketiah into question. The English youngster has been in fine form and will be hoping that he gets more opportunities with the first team this season.
Perhaps Arsenal manager Unai Emery feels that Kean would be a better fit for the club and is looking at the Italian striker as a replacement for Danny Welbeck who has departed the club. He would be one that is brought in with an eye on the future.
If the Gunners can get him to the club, it will leave them in good stead when one of Lacazette or Aubameyang ends up leaving. Kean is a fantastic prospect and has shown that he has the mentality that is needed to succeed at the highest level and would be an exciting addition to the Arsenal team.
