Arsenal receive Julian Alvarez transfer boost after Atletico Madrid meeting

Arsenal are firm admirers of Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez and have been looking into a potential move for the former Manchester City star, according to Mirror Football.

The report states that the Gunners recently held a meeting with Atletico Madrid, which has given them a significant update in their pursuit of the Argentina international.

Arsenal had been considering a move for Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, but that option has not materialised, prompting them to turn their attention back to Alvarez.

Alvarez has been a key figure for Atletico since leaving Manchester City, and any deal would likely be complicated, yet the north London club are said to be determined to strengthen their attack.
