Whats the gossip?

Fox Sports Asia claim Arsenal are close to making En-Nesyri their first signing of the summer.The player and his agent are thought to be considering a number of deals from European clubs that have been put to them.The report also suggests Arsenal are leading the race for his signature because of the players interest in moving away from Spain.Spanish side Real Betis are also another club who are said to be in the hunt for the striker.

How much is he likely to cost?

En-Nesyri has no release clause but a price tag of around 8.8million has been touted, with the financially limited Leganes likely to be willing to clash in on the marksman.@CannonInsider4

How does he play?

En-Neysri is a bullish, powerful forward.The youngster would have no issues adapting to the physicality of the Premier League.As well as his finishing ability, En-Nesyri is a big threat in the air thanks to his fantastic jumping reach winning an incredible 4.4 aerial duels per game this season (WhoScored).

International experience?

En-Nesyri has also represented Morocco on 21 occasions, chipping in with six goals.He is part of the national team who are currently preparing for theAfrica Cup of Nations, which begins later this month.Valencia erect statue of late fan Vicente Navarro Aparicio in the seat he sat in for more than 40 years

How will he fit in to Arsenals team?

Emery will undoubtedly have to tinker with his formation if En-Neysri signs for the Gunners.The Spaniard may have to deploy a very attacking 4-3-3 formation to squeeze all three of his lethal front-men in the line-up.Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has featured on the left-wing for large parts of the season and although he prefers being a no.9, he is still a major nuisance for defenders out wide, while Lacazette may also have to move out wide to make way for En-Neysri.The Gunners could use Granit Xhaka as their deepest central midfielder with Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira able to break forward with the ball at their feet and get close to their forwards in what would be a very attacking Arsenal line-up, especially with their full-backs bombing on.Is this how Arsenal could line-up with En-Nesyri in the team?4
