Igor Paixao: Could this be the deal Arsenal needs?
Arsenal may just still be in the title race this season. But they will need more in attack If they want to catch Liverpool between now and May.
The Gunners have been overly reliant on Bukayo Saka to provide that spark up front, and he has now been injured for a few months, so a signing like Paixao could be what is needed.
It's not easy to sign the biggest names in January, and Arsenal won't want to overspend, so around €35m for Paixao could be ideal.
The Brazilian, who can play in a variety of positions up front, could be a useful addition for Liverpool in the long term, even if they don't need him urgently.
Mohamed Salah is approaching the end of his contractso the Reds could look for a long-term replacement in that area of the pitch, while it could also be useful to provide cover for injury-prone Diogo Jota.
However, Paixao may feel that he will get more playing time at Arsenal or some of the other clubs mentioned, as Liverpool already have a good stock in attack and may not find much space for another new signing at the moment.
