Wenger looking confindent in his hunt for Jovetic

Gunners fans are expect to witness a busy summer at the Emirates Stadium as Arsene Wenger desperately tries to keep pace with the best teams in the country.

After losing Robin Van Persie last summer Arsenal failed to compensate for his loss. The likes of Olivier Giroud has been good for the Gunners this season but he isn't up to standards that Arsenal need, they need to buy a top class striker if they want to finish in a Champions place next season.

However Arsenal fans might be getting there wish this summer, rumour has it that Stevan Jovetic is going to be their main transfer priority. For a while it seemed like the transfer Fiorentina had on Jovetic at 25 million was to much for Arsene Wenger, now however it has been reported that the Fiorentina forward could be available for around 15-20 million.

With the price of 25million Wenger could have been favouring a David Villa and Remy combination but now that the price is apparently cheaper Jovetic has taken the number one slot on their transfer list again.

The Gunners might have to give the Montenegrin forward a 100,000 wage per week but with new commercial deals and there 70 million budget in their hands it looks like that wont be a problem and giving his rising stature in European football they would have to give him the wages anyway with clubs like Juventus and Manchester City also looking at the 23 year old Striker.

Arsenals Transfer Talks of Boosting Attack

Spanish newspaper AS Sport has revealed that Arsenal have signed Barcelona striker David Villa for £12 million on a pre-contract deal.

Villa has long been linked with Arsenal, and Wenger had apparently tried to sign him in Januray as well. However, the Catalonian giants were not ready to get rid of him that easily.

As anticipated, a lot of major changes are expected at Camp Nou this season, as the Catalonians are losing their once-mighty form.

Arsenal have been linked with another striker Stevan Jovetic, but he is comparatively expensive because the price tag on him is £25 million.

Arsene Wenger – who is known to be someone not very fond of spending in the transfer market – will prefer David Villa over Jovetic.

However, another striker linked with Arsenal is QPR’s Loic Remy who has apparently won Wenger’s heart.
His release clause is worth£6 million and both Villa and Remy, combined, will prove highly beneficial for the Gunners – who may regain their attacking streak, once dominated by Robin van Persie.

       

Arsenals hopes of finishing in a champions league place are looking slim. The table now stands with them in third with 63 points, Chelsea in fourth with 62 points and a game in hand and Spurs with 61 and a game in hand.

The problem is that Arsenal play the winners of this years Premier leauge, Man U. It is a must win seeing as Chelsea play swansea and Spurs play wigan. Arsenal have been showing good form so just because they are coming up against the winners of the leauge and their old super stricker Robin Van Persie does not mean that it will be a walk over. Arsenal have more to play for then most teams in the premier leuge as Arsene Wenger has never finished outside the top 4 in his time at Arsenal and that Spurs have finished behind Arsenal for about 25 years. Another big reason is that they are looking to get there 70million budget in the summer but that could only happen with a champions cup place.

Arsenal are still planning ahead with the fact that they are going to get there 70 million budget and talks with Fiorentina's striker Jovetic is looking promising. Arsenal are expected to go for an early bid in the summer transfer window.

It also seems like Arsenal will bow out of the race for Gotze seeing as Bayern have but in a 32 million bid for him and Arsenal are not willing to spend that much money.
