According to reports, the Arsenal team is not backing down from their plans to fight with Tottenham Hotspur club this winter for the young Basel talent Breel Embolo.
Calciomercato first stated that Wenger is interested in the 18-year-old who impresses many football experts with his excellent performance. It is said that Embolo could cost more than 20 million pounds, as the young Swiss has already debuted for his country's national team.
Embolo seems to be simply made for English football. Despite still maturing, he already has the physical attributes to compete against solid Premier League football. His speed, dribbling skills, and variety of tricks are the qualities that set him apart from other standard center forwards.
It’s no wonder that Arsene Wenger is interested in this player. In his squad, the Frenchman has Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott - two completely different forwards, so acquiring someone who could offer both of their qualities in his gameplay seems like a smart decision.
Embolo could be a good solution for Arsenal's future, but it is difficult to expect that an eighteen-year-old player would already solve all the attacking problems for the London club. The Swiss scored eight goals in 21 appearances for Basel this season.
