Arsenal Linked With Bournemouth Striker Evanilson

Reported interest highlights Arsenal’s search for a ready‑made centre‑forward to lift a thin goals return this season.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported in mid‑November that Arsenal have added 27‑year‑old Evanilson to their transfer shortlist.
  • Reports name Manchester City as another interested club and cite an asking price of about €60m (roughly £50m).
  • Evanilson has been in strong form for Bournemouth this season, scoring in consecutive Premier League matches and contributing goals and assists.
  • Bournemouth paid Porto a club‑record £40m for Evanilson in August 2024 and are widely expected to resist selling their first‑choice striker during the season, making a January move unlikely.
  • None of the clubs have commented publicly on the interest, so the story remains unconfirmed and points to a more realistic transfer window target of next summer.
