Gordon deal off: Are Bayern now helping themselves to Arsenal? | OneFootball

The record champions are looking for alternatives to their preferred player Anthony Gordon, who moved to FC Barcelona rather than FC Bayern, and one of them could be Arsenal

Numerous players are currently being linked with Bayern, which is in the nature of things, as it is well known that FCB are looking for a new player in attack

Ismael Saibari and Matias Fernandez-Pardo are said to have appeared on Bayern’s list recently

Is FC Bayern inquiring about Martinelli?

One lead could now lead to Arsenal FC, and more specifically to Gabriel Martinelli. The TEAMtalk portal reports that the German record champions recently enquired about the 24-year-old’s availability

In addition to FCB, Paris St. Germain are also keeping a close eye on the development of the flexible and fast attacker. Martinelli is one of the players who may leave Arsenal in the summer. With him, the Gunners could generate a decent amount of revenue, which in turn is necessary to take action themselves

Martinelli is not completely uncontroversial in London anyway. His pressing skills and his great speed, which he can use on the counter-attack, are appreciated, but many fans and experts find him too one-dimensional and inefficient overall

18 scoring points in 53 games is not bad, but it is not a top figure for the Brazilian either, which is why Arsenal can get over his departure. Whether he is the right player for FC Bayern’s concept is up to the scouts and people responsible for the sport to judge

He wouldn’t be a bargain either, even if he shouldn’t cost as much as other top players. The player’s market value is estimated at around 45 million euros and that also seems to be a fairly realistic sum for the Brazilian.
