Arsenal reported target Stevan Jovetic saysVincenzo Montella who is the coach of Fiorentina, www.goal.com has revealed a while back that Arsenal are currently negotiating with with the club for the player. "You know Jovetic is a player with great talent who could have different ambitions," Montella told Tuttosport. "So, I think, as president [Andrea] Della Valle said, there is the possibility of him leaving if we were paid properly. I'm aware of this." The fact that Fiorentina failed to secure Champions League football as a result of a controversial Mario Balotelli penalty and a late Philippe Mexes strike saw them stage a late comeback against Siena, and seal third place. What this means is that they will struggle to keep hold of their star player as they won't be in the elite competition next season.
There is a buzz around the media that Arsenal this summer will be one of the most competitive clubs in the Transfer Arena. Will Arsenal pay 20+ million for a player ? Will Arsenal change its Transfer policy? Actually it doesn't matter as we are going to explore the potential of an evolving team with an enormous potential.
Target 1: Get rid of the Phantom Players.
We all know that we are wasting a huge amount of salary on phantom players like
Andrei Arshavin(90k p/w)
Sébastien Squillaci(60k p/w)
Marouane Chamakh(60k p/w)
Johan Djourou(60k p/w)
Andre Santos(65k p/w)
Target 2: Bring a Defensive Midfielder
Playing Mikel Arteta as a DM has proved to be the best solution for Arsenal so far but we all know it is not his natural position. Unfortunately Abou Diaby had another long-term injury and he needs to be replaced. I would love to see the ranks of Wanyama or Maxime Golanons (both linked with the club) next year.
Target 3: Challenge Wojcech
There is one thing that we need to agree and that is a signing of a world-class GK. Wojcech is a great player with an enormous potential but he is prone to mistakes especially when he doesn't has competition. Arguably he returned better after he was dropped off for Lukasz Fabianski and that is no coincidence as he is a very young player and competition is clinical. Julio Cesar would be a very decent signing for Arsenal this summer which would show Wenger's hunger for trophies.
Target 4: Built a winning mentality
Let's first say something that will surprise a lot of Arsenal fans. We are better than last year in terms of goals (104 goals this year with one game to go, 94 goals the previous year). We are not dependent on just one player like we were last year with Van Persie, goals are shared between:
Walcott (21)
Giroud (17)
Podolski (16)
Cazorla (12)
Arteta (7)
We are stronger...the only thing we miss is confidence (After the win with Bayern Munich we are unbeatable). One of the most vital ingredients of a wining mentality is confidence.
We have been bouncing back and forth the last 8 years with players leaving the club but managed to stay on the top level and be in 3 finals (Champions League and 2 Carlin Cups).
Target 5: Push the Young Guns
This summer is going to be an exception cause we are going to built of what we created so far. We don't need a 50 million transfer record player as it would satisfy the fans.
We just need to push a little the limits of our players and build on our core young players like Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere , Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey, Carl Jenkinson and The Ox.
Conclusions
The future is promising we just need to be consistent, keep our best players and bring two or three more quality players. Heavily linked players like Jovetic and Higuain will be a great start but first we have to beat Newcastle tomorrow.
Rumours are quickly spreading about the Arsenal interest in Fiorentina's striker Stevan Jovetic. In my opinion Arsenal will defiantly spend big on one player or maybe 2 you never know but the question is who is it going to be? Stevan Jovetic spoke to the media about the interest from the Gunners.
“I've heard about Arsenal’s interest. It’s a big pleasure for me to be on the radar of such a big club. I am happy about that. I've always had an affinity with Arsenal. It’s a major club with a big tradition, one of the biggest in Europe.
“It’s not easy to replace Robin Van Persie, who scored a lot of goals.Arsenal have plenty of players w ho don’t score like Van Persie, but are also very good.
“They are still very strong. I often watch Premier League games on TV. It’s one of the best leagues in the world and looks tempting for me. “Maybe one day I will play there but I have a contract with Fiorentina and battling for a Champions League place in Serie A is the only thing I’m thinking about now.”
Stevan Jovetic Stats
Partizan (06-08) 13 goals in 51 apps
Fiorentina (08-13) 34 goals in 109 apps
Montenegro (07-13) 10 goals in 21 apps
Personally I would love to see this type at player at the club and would develop for sure into a world class player, if we can bring him in he can excite the Arsenal fans. Below are the best YouTube clips of the player to wet your appetite on what we could see at the Emirates if he does make the move.
