Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a surprise move for AS Roma striker Andrea Belotti as Mikel Arteta looks to solve his side's attacking struggles. The Italian forward, who joined Roma in 2022, has emerged as a potential target for the Gunners ahead of the January transfer window.
Why Belotti Could Be a Smart Signing
The 29-year-old has extensive experience in Serie A and international football, having earned 44 caps for Italy. While his goal-scoring record at Roma hasn't been prolific, his physicality and work rate could suit the Premier League perfectly.
Arsenal's Striker Search Continues
With Gabriel Jesus struggling for consistent fitness and Eddie Nketiah yet to fully convince as a long-term solution, Arteta is keen to add more firepower to his squad. Belotti's potential availability on a loan deal makes him an attractive short-term option.
What Belotti Would Bring to the Emirates
- Proven Serie A pedigree with Torino and Roma
- Strong aerial presence and hold-up play
- Valuable experience in European competitions
- Versatility to play as a lone striker or in a partnership
While not the marquee name some Arsenal fans might hope for, Belotti could represent a shrewd piece of business if the Gunners can secure him on favorable terms. His arrival would provide Arteta with another option as Arsenal push for Champions League qualification and aim to maintain their Premier League title challenge.
