The goalscorer of the Azulón club allows himself to be loved by the Gunner team, but the conviction that Bordalás shows obliges him to continue with Alfonso Pérez. That's exactly how the Basque coach does his thing.
Arsenal have been trying to convince striker Borja Mayoral, one of Mikel Arteta's most urgent wishes, for weeks. The English club is not having a good time up front as the lack of effectiveness takes its toll. From second place, just at the top, they have moved up to third, 5 points behind Liverpool (1st).
Nobody distrusts Gabriel Jesús, but the Brazilian has trouble finishing his team's good moves. Reason why Arteta wants a pure 9 with the profile of an area hunter. The same one that Borja Mayoral has and for which the Basque coach asked the Gunner board for a good investment.
Arsenal will pay up to €25m for Borja Mayoral in a bid to boost Arteta
The London team made an initial offer of 22 million euros. This gradually became 25 kilos. However, the attacker has a 20kg clause, which some fans of the English team do not fully understand. The truth is that they need the consent of the footballer himself and the San Sebastian coach takes care of it.
On the other hand, José Bordalás is also putting pressure on him, arguing that keeping the striker in his squad is crucial to further improving his level. The Madrid native has currently scored 15 goals in 24 games and everything indicates that this number will continue to rise. However, Borja Mayoral will make the decision himself.
Borja Mayoral's departure to Arsenal depends on Enes Unal
The Ottoman striker spent 210 days in the hospital ward due to a torn cruciate ligament. But he made his debut this season on January 2nd and played 21 minutes in the 2-0 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. 4 days later he played in the 0-1 win against RCD Espanyol in the Copa del Rey, where he provided the assist for Luis Milla.
Therefore, Borja Mayoral's departure is not that serious considering that Getafe CF has another good striker. Enes Unal, who has fully recovered from his injury, is preparing to return to the level he is used to in the Madrid team. However, the final decision will be made by the president and coach, the key voices on the blue team.
