The January transfer window has been open for over three weeks now, and much to the dismay of their fans, arsenal Not yet signed.
The North Londoners' season is hanging by a thread because they are out FA CupAlmost out League Cupand it looks like it could fall in English Premier League.
Add to that the fact that Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus are both coming off long-term injuries, and it's impossible to deny Mikel Arteta Need to attack reinforcements.
Now, in their defence, it seems as if the club are trying to do something, as there have been almost constant reports linking them with a move. Sch as Benjamin Ferret and Matthews Cunhabut arguably their greatest area of need is outside right.
Interestingly, the title chase has already been linked Brian mbeumo This month, which would be an ideal transfer for that position, but it remains to be seen if this is a deal that can be done, although if it were, the Brentford ace would still be worth millions less than one of Arsenal's other frontline options.
Why should arsenal sign mbeumo
So, it wasn't just last week that Arsenal were linked with a move for mbeumo that It could cost up to £50 millionAnd while this is undoubtedly a lot of money, we think it will be more than worth it.
For example, in just 27 appearances for Brentord last season, totaling 2,079 minutes, the 25-year-old Dynamo racked up a tally of Nine goals and six assistswhich works out to an impressive average of goal sharing every 1.8 games, or every 138.6 minutes.
The former Troyes star has somehow done better this season, hitting the distance of 13 goals and four assists In 26 matches, he totaled 2,137 minutes.
This means that the exciting Cameroonian currently sets a goal share every 1.52 games or every 125.7 minutes, which is incredible for a winger who does not play for one of the 'big six'.
Moreover, he is not just a fill-in from the weaker opposition; So far this season, the Avalon-born Sharpshooter has scored or assisted a goal against Newcastle United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
In short, Mbeumo is more than proving that he is worth £50m or more this season and should be a prime target for Arsenal, although one of his potential team-mates who didn't quite pan out, he is still worth millions more.
Arsenal star is worth millions more than mbeumo
So, to get straight to the point, the star of the arsenal in question is none other than the Brazilian left-winger Gabriel.
The 23-year-old joined the Gunners from then-Brazilian No. 4 outfit Ituano in the summer 2019 for a fee of £6 millionwhich now seems like an incredible deal You can transfer football in Up to €77m, which is around £65m, or £15m more than Mbeumo would cost.
That's a huge amount of money, and while there may be more than a few of you who are against it, there are a few reasons why.
First, although he didn't have the best year and a half, the Guarulhos-born talent remained reasonably effective.
For example, in 20 league matches this season, he scored Six goals and two assistswhile Chelsea Pedro Neto, who cost £54m in the summerAnd he scored Once he made two assists In 19 league matches.

Moreover, when he is at his best, he is sublime, as in the 22/23 campaign, an “unplayable” winger, as Described by Pundit Owen Hargreavesand scored 15 goals and six assists In 46 matches, which amounts to an average goal share every 1.85 games.
Finally, even though he is no longer a young player, there is still time to rediscover his best form and perhaps do even better.
Ultimately, Arsenal should do everything they can to sign Mbeumo this month, but fans must not forget that in Martinelli, they have a winger with the raw ability to be something special.
