Alvaro Morata’s view on joining Arsenal in the 2022 summer transfer has been revealed.

Morata has spent the previous two campaigns plying his trade in the Serie A with Juventus.

The Spaniard has been on loan in Turin from Spanish powerhouse, Atletico Madrid.

During his latest stint in Italy, Morata has provided a decent number of goals, but nothing to write home about.

In 2021/22 he would score 12 and assist nine in 48 outings across all competitions, a much lower total than 2020/21 which saw him score 20 and assist 12 in 44 games for Juve.

Now though, despite the Italian side having an option to buy Morata this summer, his future remains up in the air at present.

One of the clubs the 29-year-old has been linked with is Arsenal. The Gunners are in need of some fresh legs up top this summer now Alexandre Lacazette will be leaving on a free transfer.

Morata may work fairly well under Arteta as his ability to drop deeper and facilitate attacks is comparable to that of Lacazettes.

However, Morata does not appear to be keen on a switch to north London. According to Calciomercato, Alvaro Morata is not enthusiastic about a potential move to Arsenal this summer.

And whilst some Arsenal fans are probably not too concerned about this given Morata’s tendency to miss big chances, the Gunners do need a new striker soon.

Eddie Nketiah is expected to pen fresh terms with the club in the coming weeks, but he is not capable of leading the line for a club such as Arsenal. Gabriel Jesus has also been heavily linked of late.
