Arsenal ponder Adrian Lopez bid

Spanish daily AS understands that Arsenal are readying bid for Atletico Madrid forward Adrian Lopez.

The Gunners are unsure they will be able to keep hold of Robin van Persie and they, therefore, want to sign another striker this summer.

Arsenal have already secured the signing of Lukas Podolski and they have now been linked with Atletico Madrid forward Adrian Lopez.

AS claims the Gunners are prepared to offer around €12 million for the highly rated striker, but the problem is his release clause stands at €18 million.

Arsene Wenger has had the player scouted on numerous occasions this season and he has been particularly impressed by the player’s showings in Europa League.

Lopez only joined los Colchoneros last summer, on a free transfer from Deportivo La Coruna, but quickly became a key player at Vicente Calderon.

The 24-year-old, who narrowly missed out on the final Spain Euro 2012 squad, has scored 7 goals in 36 La Liga games last season, while bagging 11 goals in 19 Europa League matches.

    pls pro. wenger players below £25 will not favour us, its better u buy two quality players than just bringing in many players to come and fill up bench. Pls make us “fans” to be happy and courageous by winning at list one trophy dis season. Up gunners.

    pls arsene wenger, our major problem is lack of gud defenders. Just luk at most of de games we loosed last season was by de fault of djourou. I dont even see de reason why he is still in dat club, so pls luk for gud defenders and add up and dont let rvp go, but dont let him set us back like last season. Thanks GUNNERS FOR LIFE.

    iyke ohans, i agree with u bt nw we are talking of the present situation of arsenal bidding for the right players. Vanpersie is like a threat nw or a set back for arsene wenger bcos he should be thinking of a very good to add to his squad bt he is thinking of vanpesie’s replacement so that is pulling him back nw coz it will be very bad to loose a player like robin. Bt bidding for a striker nw is nt dat neccessary coz arsenal needs focused players nw dat are determined to win trophys

    Arsenal’s major problems are: 1. Trying to win trophy with inexperienced (baby) players: Gibs, Chamberlain, Park, Coquelin, Koschelny, Giroud,etc. 2. Poor match (game) pattern of lack of defence consiousnes – it is better to draw a match than to loose. 3. Arsenal will still experience more years of trophylessness until they learn how to keep their key players together for five years(Varmaelen, Santos, Sagna, Song, Wilshere, Gervinho, Van Persie, Walcot, etc. You can’t win trophy by buying and selling (Arsenal would have netted a trophy by now with the likes of Fabregas, Toure, Nasri, Clichy still in the team). 4. Arsenal’s bidding option in the transfer market is still very poor. Bring out about £250 million and bid for 5 trophy targets of the likes of Rooney, Vidic, C. Ronaldo, Ramires, Drogba, Gareth Bale, Aguero, Tevez, etc. 5. Stop buying cheap French players.
