The Gunners have reportedly received an unexpected lift in their pursuit of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez.
Reports today suggest that Barcelona’s interest in Marcus Thuram could clear the path for Arsenal to bring the Argentine forward to the Emirates this summer.
Mikel Arteta is keen to find a clinical alternative to Viktor Gyokeres, who has faced criticism for his recent form.
Chelsea are also monitoring Alvarez, but Arsenal are currently considered the frontrunners for his signature.
