No wonder the Gunners are eager to land him as soon as January. Eintracht Frankfurt’s midfielder Jesper Lindstrom is Arsenal’s top signing target, and the Danish player is proving he’s worth that attention daily. He scored the third goal in a 5-1 rout of Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.The composure here from Jesper Lindstrom 😲 pic.twitter.com/TjyaPmn4aK— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) October 15, 2022 Lindstrom made a full-pelt run straight into the Leverkusen box, where he was composed enough to make an audacious chip over the goalkeeper and into the net.A few days ago, he impressed against Arsenal’s North London rivals, Tottenham, in the Champions League midweek.Jesper Lindstrom seems to be in the hybrid mode. Somewhat the same type as Firmino, Felix, Havertz and Rutter. Useful forward who can maybe plug in anywhere. Not sure he’s the right type for Arsenal. As much as Mikel wants versatility, specificity is most desired.— AI (@nonewthing) October 15, 2022 Some Arsenal fans compare him already to Mesut Ozil, while others find some similarities with Chelsea’s Mason Mount.The Emirates club reportedly already made contact with Lindstrom’s representatives, hoping to sign him in the January transfer window. It is thought that he could be available for as little as £17m.Lindstrom will expect to play a major role in Denmark’s World Cup squad in Qatar this winter.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 10FridaySchalke 04 – Hoffenheim 0-3 (0-2)/Skov 11 pen, 59 pen, Dabbur 45+2/Saturday Eintracht Frankfurt – Leverkusen 5-1 (1-0)/Kamada 45+5 pen, 72 pen, Kolo Muani 58, Lindstrom 65 – Hincapie 56/Stuttgart – Bochum 4-1 (2-1)/Mvumpa 3 pen, 64, Ahamada 22, Endo 71 – Zoller 29/Werder – Mainz 0-2 (0-1)/Ingvartsen 36, Lee 66/Wolfsburg – M’gladbach 2-2 (1-1)/Gerhardt 43, Marmoush 69 – Thuram 13, 47/RB Leipzig – Hertha 3-2 (3-0)/Forsberg 25, Diallo 30, Orban 45 – Lukebakio 62 pen, Jovetic 64/Sunday 16.30: (1.84) Koln (3.70) Augsburg (5.00)18.30: (3.20) Union Berlin (3.35) Dortmund (2.45)20.30: (1.33) Bayern (6.25) Freiburg (10.0)***odds are subject to change
