NBC journalist Michael Stafford claimed earlier in the week that Arsenal submitted a 20 million pounds bid for Zenit winger Hulk. Now, he is claiming the first bid was rejected but Arsenal’s second improved bid of 26.5 million was accepted and the Brazilian is expected to complete his medical before the start of the World Cup.
With Walcott still recovering from injury, this is indeed a much needed signing for the gunners. Hulk has all the required attributes like strength, dribbling and shooting skills to play well in any top club in the world. Even though the Brazilian beast missed most of the season due to injury, he came back stronger and bagged 7 goals in 9 league games.
It looks like Arsenal are in a busy Summer with other big names like Loic Remy, Antoine Griezmann, Carlos Vela, Mari Mandzukic and Karim Benzema are also heavily linked the Gunners.
What do you guys think about this rumour? Will Hulk improve Arsenal’s attacking depth? Post your pinions below on the comment section.
