On the night of December 23, the Fichajes-Fútbol Twitter account published a post in which it shared information about the interest of the London “Arsenal” to the 26-year-old Ukrainian forward of the Spanish Girona Artem Dovbik.
“Arsenal wants to sign Artem Dovbik. The intention is to sign him in this winter transfer window, but if they fail to do that they will be back again at the end of the season. Arteta likes the striker,” the tweet said.
However, you can hardly trust the source, since this was the first post on this Twitter account.
But Arsenal really need a striker. An ardent fan of the Gunners, British journalist Piers Morgan, also stated this.
Ukrainian journalist and blogger Sport.ua Sergey Tishchenko shared his thoughts on Dovbik’s progress and suggested where Artem would be called next summer:
“I am sure that Artem Dovbik will be in the Premier League in the summer.
Artem is a textured and power forward. Virtually no injuries. Now people are going crazy about these. Add to that 11 goals in La Liga. This is all tens of millions of euros. Girona is unlikely to take risks and leave the player for the second or third season, because no one knows how it will go.
Guardiola played in MC without a clear forward, with the so-called false nine. In the summer of 2022, he abandoned this idea and invited center forward, power player Erling Haaland. The team won the Champions League.
Dovbik is very similar in player profile to Holland. He gets his way thanks to his physical superiority over his opponent and his scoring instincts. The main need of such strikers is midfield. There will be assists, there will be goals. If you are on a starvation diet, then nothing will happen. In “Dnepr-1” Artem had Pikhalyonok, and in “Girona” three players pass to him. Dovbik shows the implementation.
I think Arsenal would be a very interesting option for Artem. Arteta continues the line of Guardiola from the MS era before Haaland and plays without a power striker. In attack there are two “spinds” Nketia and Jesus, each 175 cm. The potential transfer of Dovbik will open up very great opportunities for Arteta. The middle of the field is ready to create chances for the striker. You just need to score. Zinchenko will help with adaptation,” Sergei wrote on Facebook.
In the current La Liga season, Dovbik has 11 goals and 4 assists.
