Kai Havartz out for the rest of the season. Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are also on the injured list at Arsenal. To put the situation in context, this comes as Arsenal fight to reduce their lead over Liverpool in the title race, in the Champions League there is also a fight for glory, euros and title. Now it is reported that Arsenal are sniffing at a spectacular emergency solution.
Roberto Firmino. The Liverpool legend with 111 goals and 75 assists in the red shirt who disappeared to the “Ronaldo League” in 2022, has continued to score, but is now out in the cold. Wrecked from the match squad in the league, the Brazilian is looking for a way out.
Firmino scored as recently as Monday in the Asian “Champions League”, where he is still registered, so it is a 33-year-old who has not lost it.
Brazilian RTE Esporte believes Arsenal are considering bringing in Firmino as a saviour in the injury-plagued attack.
Impossible outside the transfer window, you say? Not if Firmino in the next few weeks gets his deal with the Saudi Arabian club terminated and is a free agent.
For Arsenal definitely an emergency solution to consider, for Liverpool supporters a nightmare. Imagine having top scorer Firmino at Arsenal to stop Liverpool’s journey to the Premier League title.
