Arsenal are set to fight against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur for a striker in the summer transfer window, according to reports.

The Gunners are having a superb season and they are currently on top of the Premier League table. But despite the current scenario, they are already planning for next season.

A striker is in the mind of Mikel Arteta and others, and in their wishlist, another name has been added.

As per reports, Arsenal have joined the race for Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez and is likely to rival Tottenham Hotspur for the striker. Italian journalist Rudy Galetti says that the Gunners have Gimenez in their list for some time now and will be in the race for the Mexican.

Santiago Gimenez is one of the hot prospects of European Football in recent times. The 22-year-old currently having a stellar season with Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. The Mexican has scored 24 goals in all competitions and has been a big part of his team's progress this season.

Gimenez is known for his goal-scoring prowess. Since his move from Cruz Azul in 2022, Gimenez has scored a total of 47 goals for the Dutch club in just 83 appearances.

Santiago Gimenez to Arsenal?

As per reports, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has identified him as an ideal addition to their squad in the summer. The North London club currently are devoid of any exclusive striker in the team.

The likes of Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard and Eddie Nketiah have played in the position, but Mikel Arteta is keen to have a proper striker next season. Gimenez can be a superb addition to the North London club.

He is touted to be a big star and already his agent claims that the player is among the Top Ten players in Europe. The lanky Mexican can be a valued member at the Emirates Stadium and if Arsenal want him, fending off the Tottenham interest won't be an issue at all.
