With the opening of the winter window, the Premier League powers have been busy. That includes Arsenal. Considering that Lacazette has so far refused to renew his contract and Aubameyang's form has declined sharply, Arsenal are interested in taking advantage of the winter window to strengthen the front. With preferred target Fiorentina striker Vlahovic having no intention of joining, Arsenal management decided to launch Plan B: to buy Wolfsburg centre-forward Weghorst. In this regard, Bundesliga fans have ridiculed: Mourinho's carefully selected Kane replacement is going to run to Arsenal!
It all started two years ago. Given Kane's frequent injuries, Mourinho, who is Tottenham boss, is hoping to strengthen a centre-forward in the summer window. After careful selection, he took a fancy to Wolfburg high school striker Wegghorst. Nearly two meters tall, Wighorst played a prominent role in the fulcrum of the penalty area, repeatedly making the ball to his teammates who inserted himself in front of him after attracting the defense. What's even more rare is that the tall Wegghorst is delicate at his feet and can often score winger-style goals.
Of course, the most important thing is that it is cheap. According to the revelations of Bayern reporter Falk, Wolfsburg only asked for 40 million. Referring to Weghorst's performance in the Bundesliga, it is really worth the money. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Tottenham hotspur management who cut the door, such a price is still unacceptable. As a result, Wegghorst, who was eager to play in the Premier League, did not have the opportunity to join Tottenham.
Without thinking about it, the stubborn Mourinho is not dead hearted. Just six months later, he again asked Spurs management to sign Wigghorst. It is worth mentioning that considering that the players are determined to go to the Premier League, the management of Wolfsburg is also interested in fulfilling it, even if the team is in a critical period of impacting Champions League qualification. In order to facilitate the deal, Wolfsburg even reduced the price to 35 million. However, even though Kane was already hanging up the exemption card with an ankle injury, Spurs management refused Mourinho's request. It wasn't long before Mourinho, frustrated by the lack of availability, was out of class.
Fortunately, Wighorst was not affected by the transfer storm and he still trained the game seriously. With outstanding performances for several consecutive seasons, Weghorst has attracted the attention of five major league powerhouses such as Newcastle. Interestingly, Mourinho, who is now Roma manager, still wants to recruit him. Unfortunately, Mourinho's wishes are difficult to achieve. Because Weghorst wants to join a top team in the Premier League. According to Reports in the German Media, Arsenal is expected to be his new owner.
Come to think of it, Arsenal are in dire need of a reinforcement of the centre-forward position. Lacazette has so far refused to renew his contract, and the club's top brass may have sold him early to cash out; another centre-forward, Aubameyang, has suffered a serious decline in form and was diagnosed with heart problems during the Africa Cup. In this case, Arsenal, eager to return to Europe, are looking for Fiorentina striker Vlahovic. To this end, it will not hesitate to ask for 70 million euros.
It's just a pity that the falling flowers are deliberately merciless. The high-spirited Vlahović looked down on Arsenal. There is a way to twist the melon is not sweet, so Arsenal decided to dig from the Bundesliga again. According to Sports Pictures, Arsenal threw an olive branch to Wegghorst. In this regard, Arsenal fans have expressed their approval: instead of spending 70 million to buy one that does not look up to themselves, it is better to spend half the money to sign Wegghorst. What's more, who is more capable is not necessarily yet!
