Arsenal, the Premier League side, has reportedly made an offer to buy Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez this upcoming summer. This news comes after the Gunners secured a 2-0 victory against Wolves, reclaiming the top spot in the Premier League while Manchester City faced off against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final match.

The victory against Wolves was a much-needed relief for Arsenal after a tough week that included a loss to Aston Villa in the Premier League and elimination from the Champions League by Bayern Munich. Despite sharing goals amongst the squad, there have been concerns about Arsenal’s striker department, with former players and pundits suggesting the need for a proven goalscorer upfront.

Various reports have linked Arsenal to several strikers in recent months, with the latest rumors suggesting interest in Feyenoord’s Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican striker has impressed with 24 goals in all competitions for Feyenoord this season, catching the attention of Arsenal, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid.

While reports from Mexican publication Record suggest that Arsenal, along with other clubs, have made offers for Gimenez, TV Azteca claims that Feyenoord has not received any formal offer for the striker yet. The Rotterdam-based side is reportedly not in contact with English, Spanish, and Italian teams mentioned in the rumors.

In addition to their pursuit of Gimenez, Arsenal is also reportedly interested in Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese international is rumored to be considering a move away from Manchester City at the end of the season, with Real Madrid leading the race for his signature. However, Arsenal and other clubs are said to be closely monitoring the situation as Silva’s agent holds the key to his next move.
