Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing Santiago Gimenez, the Feyenoord striker who has made a remarkable start to the season, scoring 15 goals in 15 matches.

Gimenez, whose contract with Feyenoord runs until 30 June 2027, has attracted significant attention from top Italian clubs, including Lazio, Milan, and Inter. His impressive performance, particularly in the Champions League, has put him on the radar of several other European teams.

Milan and Inter have both shown interest in Gimenez, with Milan having held a meeting with his entourage. Despite this, there has been no progress, but Milan are expected to make a significant investment in the summer.

Inter might also consider investing in Gimenez, depending on player sales.

Arsenal, as reported by the Mirror, are actively pursuing Gimenez and are prepared to offer him a transfer in the January market.

However, Gimenez seems inclined to finish the season with Feyenoord before moving to a larger club.

This situation is said to be good news for Milan and Inter, who are concerned about losing a potential transfer target.

The Gunners are also not the only Premier League side with interest in the 22-year-old Mexican striker.

West Ham, searching for a new centre-forward after Scamacca’s departure, and Tottenham, yet to find a replacement for Kane who moved to Bayern Munich, are also reportedly interested in Gimenez.
