The young Belgian winger has garnered high praise across Europe, following his impressive spell with PSV during the last campaign, where he managed to score 14 goals and pick up 14 assists in all competitions.
Arsenal, who have struggled with a lack of squad depth, could benefit from his acquisition next season, as he will allow coach Mikel Arteta to rotate his players more often. Bakayoko’s versatility to operate on both flanks will also add speed, creativity and goal-scoring ability to the team. According to Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink, Arsenal are interested in signing him.
The chance of joining one of the most prestigious clubs in England is an attractive opportunity for him, especially since Arsenal have a formidable record in winning major trophies and have been consistently competing for the league title in recent seasons. Playing regularly in the Premier League would also help Bakayoko further enhance his football skills.
Although it’s still uncertain if Arsenal can agree on terms with PSV, they do have the financial capacity to close the deal quickly. Nonetheless, the Gunners still need to reinforce other areas of the squad, as this move alone might not be enough to guarantee success. Ideally, they hope to sign Bakayoko for a reasonable price this summer, but only time will tell how this saga will conclude.
