Arsenal have submitted a £22 million bid for Getafe striker Borja Mayoral as they look to sign him this month, according to the Sun.
Gunners manager Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his attack ahead of the second half of 2023-24 and has been linked with Brentford hitman Ivan Toney and his Bournemouth counterpart Dominic Solanke.
However, landing either of the English duo will be impossible during the January transfer window, and Arsenal have moved on to Mayoral.
The 26-year-old has bagged 12 La Liga goals in 19 games this term after ending last term with eight league goals, and the North Londoners have been following him closely since last November.
They have now tabled an offer for him, but Getafe have rejected it and are holding out for closer to £39m for him.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will return with an improved bid, but their recent performances in front of goal have underlined their dire need for a quality number 9, and the former Real Madrid man fits the bill.
