As Arsenal face mounting pressure to strengthen their attacking options following a series of injuries to key players, they have reportedly been offered the opportunity to sign Fiorentina striker Moise Kean.
The Italian international, currently in fine form in Serie A, could be a potential short-term solution to Arsenal’s goal-scoring issues, especially with Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to injury and Bukayo Saka also unavailable for the foreseeable future.
Kean, who previously spent time in the Premier League with Everton, has enjoyed a solid season in Italy, netting 12 goals and contributing two assists in just 20 league appearances for Fiorentina. Despite his recent success, it seems that he could be available for a move this winter, with reports suggesting that Arsenal are exploring the possibility of bringing him in before the January transfer window closes.
Given Arsenal’s current injury crisis, they are in desperate need of reinforcements in attack. While fans may have initially hoped for a higher-profile striker, Kean’s recent performances make him an intriguing option for Mikel Arteta’s side. His ability to find the back of the net regularly could be vital as the Gunners look to maintain their title push in the second half of the season.

Although Kean’s career has had its ups and downs, with a difficult stint at Juventus following a successful loan at Paris Saint-Germain, he appears to be back in top form now. His time at PSG demonstrated his potential, and he has showcased his scoring ability once again at Fiorentina. While not a marquee name, the 26-year-old could offer Arsenal a capable stopgap option for the rest of the season.
Arsenal will face competition in the transfer market, with other players such as Mateo Retegui and Manfred Ugalde also being linked to a move to the Premier League side. However, Kean’s experience in top-flight football and his proven ability to score goals could make him a valuable addition to Arteta’s squad in the short term, especially with other transfer targets potentially out of reach in the current window.
With other rumoured targets such as Jhon Duran of Aston Villa, Benjamin Sesko, and Alexander Isak all potentially beyond their reach this January, Arsenal may find it prudent to consider Kean as a viable option. If not, they may have to wait until the summer to secure a long-term solution to their attacking needs.
