26-goal Arsenal target wanted by Tottenham could now help Mikel Arteta solve one pressing issue

Arsenal will have their eyes fixed on deadline day with one rumoured target having the ability to help Mikel Arteta.

The Spaniard will have his transfer wishes mapped out as the window slams shut on Friday night, with plenty to be done before the deadline.

Arsenal have started the Premier League season with a statement, beating Wolves and overcoming a tough battle at Villa Park to secure six points from a possible six.

Now, Arteta and Edu must lock in the squad for the first half of the campaign, with one emerging target having the potential to make a significant difference.

Who is Arsenal target Andreas Skov Olsen?

As expected in the final week of the summer transfer window, a host of names have been uttered in relation to Arsenal.

One figure said to be catching Edu’s eye is Club Brugge winger Andreas Skov Olsen, who has been in fine form in Belgium.

Last season, the 24-year-old netted 26 goals in all competitions for his club, with this term beginning no different, scoring twice from Club Brugge’s opening five league fixtures.

This summer isn’t the first time that the Danish ace has been linked with a move to North London, as Arsenal’s fierce rivals Tottenham have been credited as being huge admirers of his talent.

Aside from the possibility of stealing a target from Spurs’ grasp, what’s most interesting about the rumoured target is his position, being a dazzling and powerful right-winger with the ability to play both on the left and when required, centrally.

Why Skov Olsen is the player Arsenal need this summer

Described as a talent with a ‘deadly left-foot’ by analyst Ben Mattinson, Skov Olsen is exactly the profile of player that Arteta and Edu should be targeting before deadline day.

One of the pressing issues that the manager must resolve this season is Arsenal’s lack of options going forward, most prominently on the flanks.

Aside from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, Arsenal have incredibly limited depth in the wide areas, particularly that of at the level required to challenge the two stars.

Leandro Trossard is a player capable of pushing to start in a variety of positions, with the Belgian standing alone as the Gunners’ back-up to use for rotation.

The topic of needing a new winger has become far more prominent this summer, as Martinelli is desperately struggling for form, reinforcing the need for competition on both the left and right side.

In Skov Olsen, Arteta could recruit and in-form talent with high potential in a move that could relieve the squad pressures that the Spaniard is facing.
