Arsenal is one of the clubs linked with a move for Johan Bakayoko.
The 21-year-old winger is currently one of the finest Belgian players in Europe and was a member of their squad at Euro 2024.
His impressive form for PSV is the reason he was included in his national team’s roster for the tournament in Germany, and he could leave this summer.
Bakayoko has resisted the temptation to move for some time, but top clubs are now showing interest in signing him.
While he remains committed to his current employers, he has not hidden the fact that he will move to a big club if the opportunity arises.
Arsenal is in the market for new attackers, and reports suggest they want to sign Nico Williams. However, if that proves difficult, Bakayoko could be a good alternative to the Spanish international.
Speaking about his future, Bakayoko told Voetbal International:
“I want to go to a club that can go as far as possible in the Champions League. A club that plays for the title every season and where I can improve every year.
“I exclude a lot of clubs. My ambitions are high and not with the clubs in the middle bracket. I am doing well here, so I will only exchange PSV for a club that plays for prizes.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
At 21, Bakayoko could be a worthwhile investment for us because he clearly can develop further.

He has much ambition which is great but would he be willing to accept not being part of the starting XI if that is MA’s judgment at any given time?
It doesn’t cease to amase me. Arsenal are busy pursuing a defender instead of a striker. They recently signed another goalkeeper. Surely this is nonsense. If Arsenal doesn’t sign someone who gives them goals, then they can forget about it winning the league. I also fail to understand why they would even think of selling Smith Rowe.
Totally agree m8 2 keepers and def, yet all striker targets off rivals from 5 targets to none, end up rashfird u watch
Buy Bakayoko
Bakayoko seemsva good buy after watching his YouTube videos. Even has a better shot on him than Saka.
Who does he replace in these top teams chasing prizes? He has a bit of an ego, and that’s how it comes across to me. There is no mention of his willingness to battle for a starting place which will happen at the top clubs. If he’s willing to fight then fair enough
Go and get him..if he suit to the style of play of the club.
Honestly, he will be a very good substitute for Saka.
Go for him.
Get a top striker. There’s Jesus and Troussard as back up on the wings.
