In the realm of transfer news, Arsenal is eyeing a potential move for Girona’s dynamic winger Viktor Tsygankov, but they’re not alone in the race. AC Milan has also thrown their hat in the ring for the signature of the Ukrainian international, creating a competitive atmosphere for his services.
Reports from AS suggest that both Arsenal and Milan have initiated talks with Girona regarding Tsygankov’s acquisition. The 26-year-old, whose contract extends until 2027, boasts a tempting £26 million release clause, making him an attractive prospect for top European clubs.
After experiencing another season falling short in the Premier League title chase, Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta is keen on fortifying his squad. Depth and quality reinforcements are paramount, and Tsygankov’s skill set fits the bill perfectly for the Gunners’ ambitions.
Arriving at Girona from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023 for a reported fee of £4.25 million (€5 million/$5.4 million), Tsygankov has showcased his prowess, netting eight goals and providing seven assists in 34 appearances this season. Despite his impressive form, the winger has expressed contentment with his current situation and has no intentions to pressure Girona for a summer exit, citing his and his family’s happiness in Spain.
