The transfer market is hectic as Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton battle to secure the services of Getafe striker Borja Mayoral. Although there has been speculation about an offer from Arsenal, TEAMtalk sources have confirmed that the club has not yet made an offer for the prolific Spanish attacker.
However, the search for reinforcements in the Premier League to improve their respective offensive lines does not stop. Aware of Mayoral's exceptional performance this season with 12 goals in 19 LaLiga games, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton are watching the striker closely and could make offers to take advantage of his estimated £20m value for money ratio.
The Premier League is fighting for Mayoral
Crystal Palace, who have a keen interest in Eddie Nketiah, see Mayoral as the key to avoiding the relegation battle and have made acquiring a new number 9 their top priority this transfer window. Although Arsenal were interested in Nketiah, Mikel Arteta is hesitant to let the England striker go.
On the other hand, the Wolves join the fray and look to strengthen their attack following the departure of Hwang Hee-chan. Given the urgency of introducing a new attacking reference, coach Gary O'Neil sees Mayoral as the perfect complement and would take advantage of the connection between the striker and the defender Hugo Bueno, who share the agency.
While Getafe is showing interest in keeping Mayoral with a contract extended until 2027, the club's finances could force his sale as Getafe's model focuses on generating profits. With all cards on the table, the competition for Borja Mayoral promises to be intense in the coming weeks as all three English clubs look to land the talented Spanish striker to bolster their respective attacks.
