Arsenal is preparing a bid for PSG striker Bradley Barcola

Arsenal are continuing their hunt for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. According to The Independent, the club is prepared to make a formal offer for the Frenchman. Arsenal are determined to strengthen Mikel Arteta's attack this summer, with Barcola emerging as one of the top targets after an impressive season.

Despite being behind Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the pecking order, he still managed 13 goals and seven assists in 49 games. The former Lyon player was virtually unstoppable in the first half of the season until an injury slowed his momentum. The 23-year-old has a tendency to miss big chances, but his ability to find space in opposition defenses is a valuable weapon.


Barcola marked his World Cup debut with a goal in France's 3-1 win over Senegal a few days ago. His beautiful run and controlled lob underline why he is one of Europe's most exciting attacking talents. Arteta is keen to add quality and competition to his attacking line, with Barcola seen as a player who can immediately challenge for a starting spot on the left. He is seen as a necessary improvement over Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

Liverpool have also shown interest in Barcola in recent months. However, Arsenal appear to be making the strongest move as they look for a new statement signing. PSG would prefer to keep Barcola as he is a dangerous force under Luis Enrique, but the Champions League winners are also open to reshaping their attack. PSG's interest in Arsenal-linked duo Julian Alvarez and Morgan Rogers is reportedly a reason why they are open to selling.

Despite winning the Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final, where they lost to PSG, the north London club are looking to compete for Europe's biggest trophies again. A move for Barcola would be a major statement of intent as Arsenal prepare to retain their Premier League crown and finally win that elusive Champions League title.
