Agent:Goal Machine Will Join Arsenal In January

Goal Machine Will Join Arsenal Soon

Kokorin, 24, is a target for Arsenal and the Russian forward was subject to interest during the summer transfer window from the north London club, as explained by the aforementioned source.

However, no deal materialised, though the No.9’s agent has been quick to reassure supporters that a move could still be on the cards.

Cyril Loginov said: “Aleksandr, if we are informed correctly, still has a chance (to move in the future) and not just to Arsenal.

“If Dinamo refused to give Aleksandr to Arsenal in the past transfer window, it does not mean that he can’t be where he wants (in the next window),” he continued.

“We have a very good relationship with the coaching staff and the management of the football club Dinamo Moscow.

“We have, of course, been notified.”

The 24-year-old has been capped 36 times by Russia and has found the back of the net 10 times, which isn’t too bad a scoring record at international level, especially considering how Russia have struggled in the past few years.
The forward is developing into a quality striker and has clearly caught Arsene Wenger’s eye in recent months, too. With Wenger at a crossroad as to who he should pick between Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud, a new striker on the scene could be just what he – and his squad – needs to freshen things up at the Emirates.

Giroud is approaching his thirties while Walcott is still not proven through the centre as a lone striker, so Wenger needs to keep his options open. And Kokorin’s agent certainly believes a move in the near future could be a possibility.
