Arsenal have been targeting Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony and AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli but have not reached any conclusion.
Arsenal first transfer this summer might be of a striker as they lacked in front of goals last season. Olivier Giroud and Yaya Sanoga are the only strikers present at Emirates. Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski can also be used as a striker but they play better at the sides.
Here is the comparison
Bony’s qualities:
- Strong in finishing, aerials, long shots.
- Bony is very strong in air, he scored many headers from set pieces for Swansea City last season.
- He loves to make an opportunity to shoot from long range.
Balotelli’s qualities:
- Strong in dribbling finishing, long shots, also plays key passes but lacks discipline.
- Balotelli discipline is the biggest negative point present in him. Last season, the Italian received 12 yellow cards and a red card.
- His presence is very important for a team.

Who should Arsenal sign?
Have your say below.
Junaid Effendi follow him on Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus.
They are both good, but I would prefer the former(bony) cos he is a calm
ReplyDeleteand collected player than the later(mario).we don't want a player that will last only 2 seasons, somthing I see strongly in mario and he can be a serious problem for the team. Either way, let's hope we secure the signing of a good finisher .
