'Arsenal would be a dream destination for me' - Edu's transfer chance amid Bundesliga star claim

Arsenal finished the summer transfer window with just Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as the forward options going into the season. A lot of pressure will be placed on both forwards with a heavy fixture schedule to the Europa League.

Fans are concerned about the pressure on both of the players to score goals, and it was expected that an additional goal source would be signed in the summer transfer window to provide more support for the two strikers.

However, the Gunners could be given access to strengthen their firepower in January as Danish striker Jonas Wind reveals his ambition to join the north London side.

Speaking to Bulinews.com Wind said: "If we look into the future, Arsenal would be a dream destination for me, as it has always been my favourite club. In general, I think the Premier League is the best league in the world, and it would be exciting to play there.

But as I said, that’s not what I’m focusing on at the moment. I’m doing well here in Wolfsburg, it’s a good club for me, and the Bundesliga is a great league to play in."

Wind joined Wolfsburg in the last January transfer window in what is believed to be a £10.8million transfer fee. He joined the Bundesliga side after scoring 46 goals in 114 games for FC Copenhagen.

His impressive club form has been recognised at International level as the 23-year-old has made 15 appearances for the senior Danish international team and scored five goals in the process.

Despite Jesus’ arrival, Edu still needs to add more firepower to Arteta’s options in the summer transfer window. Nketiah and Jesus will need more goal support throughout the season from different areas of the pitch.

Arsenal captured Jesus from Manchester City, and he has been a revelation in the early stages of his Gunners career. The Brazilian has scored three goals in his first six Premier League games with the club.

Mikel Arteta has been utilising Jesus as a striker throughout the season. However, his recent comments about the new signing suggest that he also wants to use him in a different role in the wing position throughout the season.

Speaking about Jesus, Arteta said: “His versatility is well known. Now we are using him as a nine. He can play as a winger, off the left and the right. You can play with two strikers as we have done in pre-season as and change the shape a little bit. He gives us a lot of flexibility.”
