A Spanish report says Arsenal are interested in signing Portuguese winger Carlos Forbs, of Club Brugge, next year to strengthen their attacking options and provide a potential alternative to Bukayo Saka.
According to the report, Arsenal are concerned about Saka’s availability and face competition from Manchester City for Forbs. The club does not intend to make an offer unless concerns about Saka’s condition grow, and it is unclear whether Club Brugge would agree to let the player go, as he is considered an important member of the team.
Forbs scored 11 goals and provided 12 assists in 51 appearances in all competitions during his first season with Club Brugge, then scored five goals and provided six assists in 14 appearances this season, according to the source.
The report suggests that Forbs’ move to Arsenal could be linked to the departure of Noni Madueke, who performed well in Saka’s absence and has reportedly been linked with Aston Villa and other European clubs.
