Arsenal have reportedly been holding regular talks to sign Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez, as per TEAMtalk.

The Gunners decided to reinforce the centre-forward position by purchasing Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP last summer. However, he initially took time to settle into his new surroundings.

In recent weeks, the Swedish international has started showcasing his productivity, scoring four goals and registering an assist in the last four appearances across all competitions.

He has made 15 goal contributions in all tournaments thus far this season and has been guiding his side to challenge on all fronts.

Apart from Gyokeres, Arsenal currently have Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz as the striker options. However, both have struggled with fitness problems in recent years, with the Brazilian linked with a move away.

Now, TEAMtalk claim that Arsenal are contemplating purchasing a new top-class striker and have been maintaining regular contact to sign Alvarez.

The Argentinian international has become frustrated at Atletico Madrid, so he is ready to leave, and Los Rojiblancos have slapped a £100m price tag on his head.
