Arsenal Are Keeping Tabs On This On-Loan Real Madrid Striker: Should Arteta Get Him On Board? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Mark Brus claimed that Arsenal are keeping tabs on on-loan Real Madrid striker Endrick. It has been mentioned that the Gunners are eyeing a move to bring the Brazilian forward to the Emirates Stadium.

Endrick’s Impressive Loan Spell In French Football

Endrick is having a decent loan spell at Lyon as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them in front of the opponent’s goal. The 19-year-old has scored seven goals and picked up seven assists in 21 matches for the French outfit this season across all competitions.

The Brazilian talent is currently one of the most gifted strikers in Ligue 1. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Gunners are monitoring him ahead of a potential move for him at the end of this campaign.

His current contract at his parent club, Real Madrid, will expire in the summer of 2030, which could make it difficult for Arsenal to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Should Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta Get Endrick On Board?

Endrick excels at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.

The Brazilian sensation can chip in by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team. Endrick is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a right-sided wide player if required. However, he is still quite inexperienced at the highest level and would need time to adapt to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Gunners manage to snap him up later this year.

We can expect Endrick to bring more firepower to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s frontline in the long run. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the coming seasons.

At 19, Endrick has got the potential to be a future star in English football. Therefore, the Gunners would be wise to go all out to bring him to the Emirates Stadium in the upcoming transfer window.
