Arsenal eager to sign £42m German star in January, 12 goals this season

Arsenal and other top European clubs reportedly remain interested in signing Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi, with a potential permanent move possible in the January transfer window. Journalist Florian Plettenberg reports that the 22-year-old Germany Under-21 international is drawing strong interest following an impressive run of form, including 12 goals in his first 14 appearances this season.

Club Brugge previously placed a £42 million valuation on Tresoldi, which deterred Barcelona last summer. While Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta reportedly held talks earlier this year, writer Ed Davison suggests the Gunners might opt against bidding for him, highlighting Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi as another potential attacking target under consideration by Mikel Arteta.
