Report: Arsenal could now sign 21-goal target on a bargain in January | OneFootball

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo.

The 20-year-old striker has scored 21 goals this year for Santos and he has been linked with a move to the Premier League for weeks.

A report from GOAL claims that the player was initially expected to cost €15 million, but he could be available for less following the relegation of the Brazilian club.

Leonardo is a tremendous young prospect with a big future ahead of him and he could prove to be a solid, long-term acquisition for Arsenal. Signing a player of his potential for less than €15 million could prove to be a major bargain. He has the potential to develop into a quality striker for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta could help him fulfil his potential.

The Gunners need more cutting edge in the final third and the 20-year-old will add goals to the side. Gabriel Jesus has been a useful player for Arsenal since joining the club but the former Manchester City striker is not a prolific goalscorer. Arsenal need a reliable finisher at their disposal and Leonardo could be that player for them.
