Borja Mayoral has been in impressive form this season, scoring a total of 12 goals in La Liga. However, the Getafe player has recently been linked to Arsenal as a potential transfer target. Despite these rumors, Mayoral says he is not aware of any offer from the London club and is solely focused on his current team.
The 26-year-old was a former Real Madrid youngster and has caught the attention of Arsenal, who are currently looking for a striker in the January transfer window. While Ivan Toney is believed to be their top target, the Gunners are also considering other options due to the high price tags of players like Brentford's Toney and Napoli's Victor Osimhen.
Recent reports claim that Arsenal have made a bid of £22 million for Mayoral, but it was reportedly rejected by Getafe, who are holding out for £39 million. Despite the speculation, Mayoral maintains that he is only focused on his current club and has not had any talks with his representatives or the team about a potential transfer.
Mayoral's impressive goal-scoring record in La Liga this season has only been surpassed by Jude Bellingham. However, Arsenal have been struggling in front of goal recently, with only two goals in their last four games across all competitions. Their current strikers, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, have only managed to score a total of eight goals between them this season, making the need for a new striker even more pressing.
However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has played down talks of a big January move for Mayoral or any other striker. Despite their recent struggles, Arteta believes in improving their current players and working towards better results. He also mentioned that, at the moment, a major signing does not seem like a realistic option for the team.
Arsenal's next game will be against Crystal Palace next Saturday. In the meantime, the team continues to be linked with other transfer targets like Newcastle's star player and Manchester United's Jadon Sancho. However, Arteta remains focused on working with the players he currently has and improving their performance on the field.
