Arsenal are exploring a deal for Julian Alvarez amid their striker hunt. Bernardo Silva praised Alvarez as a “top, top striker” after his crucial goals for Manchester City. Thierry Henry echoed the sentiment, calling Alvarez “one of my favourite nines” who consistently delivers important goals. Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres remains an alternative target.
Arsenal are considering a summer move for Julian Alvarez as part of their search for a reliable striker to end their trophy drought. The Gunners have finished second in the Premier League for three straight seasons but have not won a major trophy since 2020. Head coach Mikel Arteta is under pressure to strengthen the attack ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is also linked with a £60 million move, but Alvarez appears to be the preferred option. Bernardo Silva, Alvarez’s former Manchester City teammate, praised him as a “top, top striker” who stepped up during key moments in City’s Champions League campaign.
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry also expressed admiration for Alvarez, describing him as “one of my favourite nines” who is capable of scoring crucial goals and holding the ball up well. Adding Alvarez or Gyokeres could be vital for Arsenal’s bid to finally secure the Premier League title.
