ARSENAL legend Thierry Henry stated Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez is his favourite striker right now, does not know if the Gunners will have a chance to sign the striker this summer window.
After signing for £80m, the former Man City striker led the line for Atletico, scoring 29 times in all competitions this year and has really impressed over in La Liga after being given the chance to shine under Diego Simeone.
It is no secret that Arsenal are in the market for a new striker this summer window and are reportedly ready to splash the cash and finally sign a new number nine, with many options on the shopping list of Mikel Arteta.
But amid all the speculation that Arsenal are interested in Julien Alvarez, Henry stated Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez is his favourite striker right now, does not know if the Gunners will have a chance to sign the striker
He was quoted on the sun: ‘One of my favourite nines out there at the minute is Julian Alvarez. And you know, we’ve been talking about it. Putting pressure, playing it long, low, whatever you want to do.
‘You see the free-kick he scored the other day. He can hold the ball alone. He played at the Olympic Games, he played the Copa America.
‘I don’t hear him saying I’m tired or not tired. He plays it, hopefully, nothing bad’s gonna happen to him.
‘He played everything. And the way he plays it, I just like him. But is it possible [for Arsenal]? I don’t know.’

Leaving Manchester City, leaving the Premier League now means that Alvarez is a 30 goals a season striker, he would never have achieved that if he stayed in the Premier League.
Madrid do not want to lose their star man, he has a massive 6 year contract, it will be very expensive for ARSENAL to get this transfer deal done that is for sure, and he may not even want to come back to the Premier League.
