Arsenal ‘to Make January Move’ for 37-Goal Striker After Missing Out on Julian Alvarez Last Summer

According to a report by Football London on October 20, 2026, Arsenal have been linked with a potential January move for Club Brugge striker Nicolò Tresoldi as Mikel Arteta considers strengthening his attacking options ahead of the second half of the season.

The 22-year-old has attracted attention following his impressive performances in Belgium, with his goalscoring form reportedly putting him on Arsenal’s radar ahead of the winter transfer window. The Gunners are understood to be monitoring his situation amid uncertainty surrounding Viktor Gyökeres’ future at the Emirates Stadium.

Tresoldi began his senior career at Hannover 96, where he played between 2022 and 2025. During his time with the German club, the striker made 77 appearances and scored 14 goals before joining Club Brugge in 2025.

His move to Belgium has proved productive, with the forward registering 23 goals in 48 appearances for Brugge, according to the career statistics provided. That takes his combined senior club record to 37 goals in 125 appearances for the two clubs.

Tresoldi’s recent performances have further increased his profile. According to the report, he has scored nine goals in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, including four goals in two Champions League matches. He also found the net against Aston Villa in September and scored during Brugge’s dramatic 4-3 victory over Inter Milan.

Arsenal’s reported interest comes amid questions about Gyökeres’ long-term future. The Sweden international has reportedly struggled to secure consistent playing time under Arteta, prompting speculation that he could seek a move in January. However, no departure has been confirmed.

Tresoldi could provide Arsenal with another option in attack if the club decides to strengthen its forward line. His age, European experience and recent goalscoring record could make him an attractive prospect as the Gunners assess their transfer priorities.

However, Arsenal may face competition for his signature. AC Milan are also reportedly interested in the striker, and his childhood support for the Italian club could potentially influence his decision.

Club Brugge are believed to value Tresoldi at around £42 million after reportedly rejecting a £30 million offer from Roma during the summer. Arsenal would therefore need to consider whether the asking price fits their January transfer plans.
