€27m Versatile Forward is What Arsenal Really Need

Arsenal’s main priority this winter is to sign a top quality forward, that much is clear as Arsene Wenger ruled out Thierry Henry’s re-return to the club.
Giroud has been performing well upfront for the gunners, scoring goals, providing assists and helping in buildup play.
However, Arsenal have been really lucky that their only top striker did not suffer any injury as they have no quality backup.
Giroud is important, no doubt and it is likely that Wenger will like to keep him in the starting XI even when he does sign another goal scorer. The fans would want the same.
Hence, a versatile forward who can play as a striker as well as an attacking midfielder should be the ideal choice.
Arsenal have been linked with €27m Versatile Forward, PSG’s Lavezzi. The Argentine can play outwide as well as a center forward and he is what Arsenal really need, and not the likes of out and out strikers like Benzema.
The quality of former Napoli man is inevitable and he has shown his class both in Serie A and Ligue 1. However, after the arrival of Cavani, Lavezzi finds himself in a complex situation.
This season, Lavezzi has featured in 10 games but never played full 90 minutes in a single match.
With the level of competition that high not only at club level but also international. Lavezzi may as well have to leave to make a strong case to feature in Argentina’s starting XI next year in the World Cup.
As per the provided link, Spurs are also interested in the 28 year old forward. Arsenal should act rapidly and Wenger must splash the required sum to lure the versatile star to Emirates.
