Gary Lineker drops surprise Arsenal transfer £81m bombshell after Man Utd defeat

 

Arsenal slipped to a disappointing home defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Sunday afternoon – as their fight for a first title since 2004 goes on.

 

 

Gary Lineker has had his say on Arsenal’s struggles up front under Mikel Artera

 

Former England striker Gary Lineker thinks Arsenal should look to sign Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. The Gunners suffered their first home defeat of the season on Sunday afternoon after losing 3-2 to Manchester United.

 

Manchester City and Aston Villa are now just four points behind Mikel Arteta’s side, with their hopes of winning a first top-flight title since 2004 dented. Arsenal’s attacking players have struggled to fire on all cylinders this season, with ‘own goals’ their third top scorer in the league.

 

 

 

Striker Viktor Gyokeres has been unconvincing since completing his £64million transfer to the Emirates Stadium, while another attacking summer signing, Eberechi Eze, has no league goals since November. Recent reports have claimed that a move for former Manchester City striker Alvarez was discussed last summer.

 

 

 

And Lineker has shared his view on Alvarez to Arsenal on Monday’s The Rest Is Football podcast. He said that the Argentine is unhappy in Madrid. He said: “They’ve not got anyone really banging in the goals on a regular basis. Gabriel Jesus has come back and scored one or two, but there was a reason they needed to sign a new No.9 in the first place.

“I like Jesus and always have, and he’s got a great work ethic, he chases and harries and gets a few goals. He’s a bit streaky – when he’s on he’s on, but when he’s off he a bit of a confidence

“It’s probably complete [nonsense] as most of these things are on social media, but I saw they were linked with Julian Alvarez, who I know is not entirely happy with life at Atletico.

 

“Now that’s the sort of player you know can handle the big occasion, he’s a World Cup winner for crying out loud. Someone like that at Arsenal would be game over. But they do need one or two of these current forwards to start scoring on a reasonably regular basis.”

 

 

 

Arteta has previously said the club are prepared to ease their injury problems by looking at signing new players in January. However, little business has been done yet and any major moves this month seem unlikely at present.

 

Speaking last month, the Spaniard said: “The window is there and I mean we’re Arsenal and we have to be looking at it; ‘Okay, what do we need’? And we have to be actively looking and then, whether we can do it or not… that’s a different story.

 

“But our job is to always be very prepared because something can happen, so hopefully it’ll be very positive.

“When you look across the other clubs, they have 24 or 25 squad players. Although we have had more injuries than expected, some of them not avoidable.

 

“We want to be better and we know how important the part of having the right availability with players is going to be this season.”

Bayern Munich keen on signing Arsenal star who has been ‘massive’ for Mikel Arteta of late Transfers

Bayern Munich keen on signing Arsenal star who has been ‘massive’ for Mikel Arteta of late

Scarlet VazScarlet Vaz8 February 2026

German giants Bayern Munich are looking to make moves in the upcoming transfer window. They are keeping a close eye on Arsenal’s Kai Havertz.

 

Kai Havertz has lost his place in Mikel Arteta’s starting eleven and has been replaced by Viktor Gyokeres. Looking at these dynamics, Bayern Munich is heading to take advantage of this situation.

 

 

Havertz’s reduced game-time and a shift to the midfield rather than his natural striker position give the German club a brilliant chance to make a bid for him.

 

According to Fichajes, Bayern are looking to sign the 26-year-old, believing he will bring versatility and serve as a cover for Harry Kane.

 

Arsenal have seen how well Havertz has grown into Mikel Arteta’s team, and the fans love him; however, the huge sum they could receive for the striker may be tempting for the Gunners.

 

Kai Havertz is ready to leave the Emirates

Arsenal are having an exceptional season, topping the Premier League table as well as the UEFA Champions League table. Additionally, they made it to the Carabao Cup final after an ecstatic 4-2 aggregate win against Chelsea, with the goal in the second leg scored by Havertz itself.

 

The 26-year-old striker, who some feel has had a ‘massive‘ impact for Arteta since his return from injury came to the Emirates in 2023 from Chelsea. He was a key player for the Blues and became Arsenal’s first-choice striker immediately after his transfer, replacing Gabriel Jesus.

 

With Havertz’s present contract set to end in 2028, a move to Bayern for a regular starting position seems suitable. The Bavarian squad is reportedly preparing a significant cash offer to persuade Arsenal to part ways. However, Arsenal’s take on this deal remains unclear.

Viktor Gyokeres‘ form has been incredible in recent weeks. He has made crucial contributions to the team and has scored 4 goals in their last 5 games in all competitions.

 

Although it took him some time to find his place in the team, his improvement has been clearly visible. The fans believe they could see a lot more from him in the season ahead and in the years to come.

 

The Gunners face Brentford at home in a league game, and it seems like a brilliant opportunity for the Swedish forward to increase his goal tally.

Viktor Gyökeres has singled out one Arsenal player he absolutely loves sharing the pitch with, and it’s no surprise given the impact the Gunners star has whenever he plays.

Speaking in a recent interview, the prolific striker couldn’t hide his admiration, describing the Arsenal man as someone who “always scores goals anytime he’s on the pitch.” Gyökeres added that playing alongside him makes football easier, more fluid, and far more dangerous for opposition defenses.

A Deadly Connection on the Pitch

Gyökeres praised the player’s movement, intelligence, and instinct inside the box, highlighting how their chemistry naturally creates chances.

“Anytime he’s on the pitch, you know something will happen. He always finds a way to score, and I really enjoy playing with him,” Gyökeres said.

The Arsenal star’s ability to arrive at the right place at the right time has clearly left a strong impression, with Gyökeres emphasizing how confident he feels when linking up with him during attacking phases.

Arsenal Fans Will Love This

For Arsenal supporters, Gyökeres’ comments will only fuel excitement, especially amid ongoing discussions about attacking partnerships and future squad evolution. The striker’s words underline the quality already present at the Emirates and the kind of chemistry that can elevate Arsenal to the next level.

A Compliment That Speaks Volumes

Gyökeres is known for his high standards and relentless style of play, so such praise carries real weight. When a striker of his caliber openly admits he loves playing with a teammate because of their goal-scoring consistency, it says everything about that player’s influence.

With Arsenal continuing to push on multiple fronts, partnerships like this could prove decisive as the season progresses.
