Arsenal are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia at the end of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and he has impressed with his performances for the Spanish club. However, he is not a guaranteed starter for them, and he might need to move on in the summer in order to play more often.<\/p>\n

Arsenal could use Gonzalo Garcia<\/h2>\n

Arsenal need more depth in the attacking unit, and Garcia would be a solid long-term acquisition. They are prepared to sell Gabriel Jesus for \u20ac25 million and replace him with the Real Madrid striker.<\/p>\n

According to a report from SportsBoom<\/a>Newcastle United is also keen on the player. However, any move for the player will depend on their ability to offload Nick Woltemade. The German joined Newcastle at the start of the season, and he is already being linked with an exit. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa have also tried to sign Garcia. Meanwhile, Leeds United enquired about Garcia in January.<\/p>\n

Garcia needs more game time<\/h2>\n

Garcia will be desperate for regular opportunities, and the likes of Arsenal and Newcastle might be able to provide him with the platform he needs. He has played just 1184 minutes of first-team football this season, scoring six goals in all competitions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres at the start of the season, but the Swedish international has not been prolific enough for them. They need someone to share the goal sc with him, and the report describes Garcia as an \u201celite-level finisher\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the 22-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could be a future star with the right guidance. However, Real Madrid is unwilling to lose him, and they rate him highly. The report claims that any potential sale will come with a buyback clause. It will be interesting to see if clubs like Arsenal or Newcastle would be willing to accept a condition like that.<\/p>\n
