Arsenal is reportedly discussing internally the potential transfer moves of talented young Rennes forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to Just Arsenal.
Gunners are known to be keen to bolster ahead of time this summer after a difficult campaign where finishing opportunities is one of their biggest problems.
Arsenal imagines it will resolve this issue in the sense that they sign the attack, as both Benjamin Sesco and Victor Gyoker are strongly linked.
However, according to a report by Just Arsenal, another name under consideration within the Emirates Stadium appears to be Kalimuendo.
Scouts in North London seem to be impressed by the 23-year-old. The 23-year-old seems likely to get a big move sooner or later.
Arnaud Kalimuendo is impressed in League One, but is he enough for Arsenal?
It will be a step up from Rennes to Arsenal, but Kalimu End has shown many possibilities in his relatively short career so far.
The Frenchman has 17 goals and three assists in all competitions so far this season. That means he has already scored a total of over 15 points in the previous term.
I imagine Kalimuendo will continue to improve over the next few years. He will also definitely get more opportunities with better players around him, as he has at Arsenal.
Arsenal can’t afford to make a mistake with this transfer window
Kalimuendo may be of the future, but for now the AFC needs to make sure they are signing the best players in the world.
Mikel Arteta’s side isn’t too far from winning competitions like the Premier League or Champions League, but Karim End is probably not a signature to get them on the line.
It will be interesting to look at how Kalimuendo will tackle in the future, but for now, this is nothing more than a very ambitious transfer window for Arsenal.
