As Arsenal faces hurdles in their pursuit of Ivan Toney, the Gunners are exploring alternative options, with Getafe striker Borja Mayoral becoming a prominent figure on their radar.
Mayoral has been making waves with his stellar performances this season, notably featuring alongside Mason Greenwood for Getafe. The 26-year-old striker has been in prolific goal-scoring form, notching an impressive 12 goals in the current campaign, placing him second in the La Liga scoring charts. Only Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham has scored more, finding the net 13 times so far.
The Gunners, recognizing Mayoral’s goal-scoring prowess, have intensified their interest in the Spanish striker. Recent reports from The Sun suggest that Arsenal has submitted a £22 million bid to secure Mayoral’s services.
A product of the Real Madrid youth academy, Mayoral embarked on loan spells with Levante and Roma before making a move to Getafe in 2022. Since joining Getafe, he has showcased his goal-scoring abilities, accumulating 29 goals in 78 appearances.
This pursuit of Mayoral comes as Arsenal faces setbacks in their attempts to sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney, who is valued at approximately £100 million. The Gunners are now exploring more cost-effective solutions to bolster their attacking options.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Toney, who is set to return from an eight-month ban for betting offenses, expressed his gratitude towards Brentford, emphasizing the supportive environment. He stated, “Thomas Frank has been nothing but the biggest help I could have asked for. The whole club has… Brentford’s a family club; they’ve been nothing but amazing to me throughout the whole situation. I can’t thank them enough, especially the fans.”
Adding to their goal-scoring arsenal is imperative for Arsenal, particularly if they aim to make strides in the second half of the season. As discussions and negotiations unfold, Borja Mayoral emerges as a promising alternative, and Arsenal fans eagerly await developments in their club’s pursuit of attacking reinforcements.
