Arsenal are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi in the upcoming January transfer window as they seek to enhance their attacking options. Mikel Arteta has consistently named Kai Havertz in his starting line-up across all seven fixtures in this Premier League season, while summer signing Viktor Diekeres has yet to begin a match. Despite starting both Champions League fixtures, the Swedish forward has been unable to find the net, prompting the Gunners to urgently seek alternative solutions up front.
The uncertainty surrounding the central striker position has led to increased interest in the 22-year-old Tresoldi, who is enjoying a remarkable start to the season. The German youth international has already netted nine goals in twelve appearances across all competitions, with four of those coming in just two Champions League matches. His hat-trick at the iconic San Siro against Inter, leading to a sensational 4-3 victory for Brugge, has turned heads in the footballing world. Furthermore, Arsenal's established connections with Brugge following the summer acquisition of winger Christos Tzolis for £35 million stands them in good stead. Last season, both Tresoldi and Tzolis were the joint top scorers in the Belgian Pro League, with the German recording 19 goals in forty matches.
In August, Brugge firmly rejected an official offer of £30 million from Italian side Roma, which saw the price tag for this rising star soar to £42 million. Both Milan clubs are closely monitoring the situation, with AC Milan potentially having the upper hand due to Tresoldi's lifelong support for the Rossoneri. If Arsenal are serious about securing the young striker, they will need to meet the inflated financial demands of the Belgian club and exceed the previously rejected offers from their competitors.
