Arsenal Believe £12m Will Land PSV's Prolific Forward

Arsenal are once again showing an interest in PSV-Eindhoven striker Ola Toivonen, who has previously been linked with a move to the Emirates on a number of occasions.


The Sweden international striker has previously been linked with both Arsenal and Liverpool, but it is the Gunners that have now emerged as the favourites to land the 25-year-old.

Toivonen, who has 13 appearances for Sweden, signed for the Dutch side in 2009 for around €4million and has gone on to impress a number of European sides during his stint in the Eredivisie.

It is believed that Arsenal were interested in signing the player during the summer, but PSV decided to hang on to the striker who has scored three goals in his last four internationals.

Toivonen has scored 35 goals in 76 league appearances for PSV and according to Talksport is a legitimate target for the Gunners.

Arsenal have plenty of money to spend during the January transfer window after the sales of both Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas, while chairman Ivan Gazidis has made it clear that money will be spent in January.

The Gunners have relied heavily on Robin van Persie in recent seasons and are desperate to give some help to the Dutch striker. Maraoune Chamakh has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League while Gervinho is viewed more as a support striker.

PSV want at least £12million for the talented striker, which Arsenal would have no problem in matching.
