Arsenal have joined Chelsea in the race for young English striker. They have adapted a new hiring policy under Andrea Berta. The Blues will view this as a blow as they will now have to face more competition.
Chelsea are keen to sign a new striker this summer. Nicolas Jackson had a great start to this season but later failed to materialize. He has found it hard to find the back of the net regularly. Hence, Enzo Maresca is keen to add another striker to their unit.
The Blues are keen to sign a young striker. They want him to serve as backup for Jackson as well as compete with him for starting position. As of now, they have Liam Delap of Ipswich Town as top target. But, they will now face fresh competition from their London rivals.
Arsenal join the race for Liam Delap
According to Football Transfers, Gunners have joined the race for Liam Delap. They have added the 22 year old to their striker wishlist alongside Ollie Watkins. Andrea Berta has a new transfer plan ready and will make moves accordingly this summer.
The Italian has made it clear that Arsenal need to win. Hence, he prefers to sign a well experienced striker instead of young striker. But, he does rate Delap highly whom he considers a key backup for main striker. In addition, the 22 year old will have good resale value in the market.
The new transfer strategy suggests that Arsenal can sign two striker this summer. They will have one prove goalscorer like Gyokeres or Watkins as the main striker. On the other hand, they will sign a young player like Sesko or Delap as a backup striker. Lastly, the report also states that Sesko is no longer the top priority of the club although he still has admirers internally at North London.
