Arsenal Prepared to Pay More for Club Brugge’s Nicolo Tresoldi

Arsenal are reportedly prepared to meet Club Brugge’s rising financial demands to sign striker Nicolo Tresoldi, as Mikel Arteta considers strengthening his attacking options ahead of the next summer transfer window. The Belgian club’s valuation of the player could rise if he maintains his goalscoring form, while Arsenal are willing to invest in his potential.

Tresoldi, 22, has scored 12 goals in 14 matches in all competitions this season, including a hat-trick against Inter Milan in the Champions League. His performances have caught the eye of several clubs, while Arsenal believe he could develop into a top-class striker. The clubs’ positive relationship, following Christos Tzolis’s move to Arsenal in the summer, could help facilitate any negotiations.

Club Brugge value the player at around £42 million and could raise their demands if he continues to perform at his current level. The club also prefers to keep him until the end of the season and does not want to sell him in January. Manchester United and Tottenham are also monitoring his situation, which could intensify the competition, and Arsenal may have to wait until the summer before making a move.
