Arsenal are closing in on a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, with the club preparing a formal offer for the French international.
The 23-year-old has attracted significant attention this summer after a strong showing at the World Cup, including a memorable goal for France against Senegal.
According to The Independent, Arsenal are ready to submit an offer, though the deal may need to wait until Barcola’s World Cup involvement with France comes to an end.
Despite inconsistent playing time at PSG last season, Barcola still managed an impressive 20 goal contributions, highlighting his quality when given the opportunity to perform.
Manager Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen his attacking options this summer, with Barcola fitting the profile of a dynamic, direct wide player capable of operating at the highest level.
Arsenal are not limiting their attacking ambitions to Barcola alone, with Julian Alvarez and Morgan Rogers also among the names being considered as potential additions to the squad.
Liverpool are also firmly in the picture for Barcola, meaning Arsenal will face competition from a fellow Premier League rival if they want to secure his signature.
The battle for Barcola comes at a time when Liverpool are actively seeking wide reinforcements, particularly following the departure of Mohamed Salah, which has left a significant gap in their attacking unit.
Cody Gakpo has also been linked with an exit from Liverpool, which would further deepen their need for quality wide options heading into the new season.
Barcola offers pace, flair, and a direct style of play that would suit either club, and a move to the Premier League represents a chance for him to play regularly at the highest level.
PSG’s willingness to sell remains a key factor in whether any deal can progress, with the French club yet to indicate whether they are prepared to sanction his departure.
At just 23 years old, Barcola has considerable room for development, and a consistent run of games under either Arteta or his Liverpool counterpart could see him emerge as one of Europe’s most dangerous attackers.
