Arsenal: 5 alternatives to signing Willian this summer

2. Raul Jimenez

I know what you’re thinking; but Raul Jimenez is a striker, right? Right, he is. But this signing would prove worthwhile to the Gunners since he would either fill the void left by the sale of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, or fill the strikers role anyway while Aubameyang plays out on the left.

Arsenal will likely battle with some financial powerhouses to sign Jimenez, since I’ve seen Manchester United and Real Madrid sniffing around his name lately. It’s clear to see why too, since he is a clinical goal scorer who always knows how to get his fellow attackers involved in the game with his ability to link play.

3. Ryan Fraser

Ryan Fraser would be the most efficient of the bunch given his cost as, like Willian, he is out of contract this summer. However, the same problem remains, since Tottenham are also in the running to sign him. They just won’t leave us alone, will they?

According to Express, though, Arsenal remain confident they can sign Fraser, despite the interest from Tottenham. And so they should be. Mikel Arteta is an attractive manager to work under and Arsenal are a much more attractive outfit than Bournemouth, if I do say so myself.

Beggars can’t be choosers, and all that.
