Portuguese forward Andre Silva will cost around 5 billion Ksh

Another day, another transfer target for Arsenal. However this summer in Europe turns out to be, it has to be hot one for the Gunners. With no European football after 25 consecutive years, with supporters’ protests continuing and Swedish billionaire sending second bid to buy the club, owner Stan Kroenke fells the heat. The American billionaire has reportedly decided to give sporting director Edu a 3,7 billion KSH for transfers.

The result? Every single player in Europe is connected to Arsenal! You name it, Arsenal is on it. The transfer list is probably a two meters long by now, and Edu is probably struggling to keep it up with such number of players. You can imagine how his transfer board looks like. A new name for today is Andre Silva, a guy who is better than Erling Haaland.

The highly rated Portuguese is the subject of the official talks between Eintracht Frankfurt and Arsenal over a move to North London, and the striker will be available for around 5 billion, according to reports. The Germans have unfamously ruined their Champions League place and will play in Europa League next season. They are also open to sell their best winger Filip Kostic, who is likely to move to Italy, and Silva is another club star who will probably leave Frankfurt. The Portuguese striker scored 28 goals in Bundesliga this season, which is better than Erling Haaland, a future mega star. And considering that Frankfurt payed only 401 million Ksh for Silva, after his successful spell from Milan, the profit will be considerable.

But, other clubs are also aware of the power of young Silva, and Arsenal will have to be much quicker than in the case of Edu Bandia, if they want to sigh him. That would also mean that Alexandre Lacazette will be sold, even he had a good campaign with 17 goals in all competition for the Gunners. The Frenchman has only one year until the end of his contract and, surprisingly, nobody is taking about renewal, only about sale. Atletico Madrid and Juventus have been mentioned as potential suitors for Lacazette.
