With 12 goals in La Liga this season, Espanyol striker Raul de Tomas has emerged, with just hours to go of deadline day, as a target for Arsenal.
A report in the Express claims that once Aubameyang’s loan deal to Barcelona is completed, the Gunners will rush through a move for 27-year-old Raul de Tomas.
The two-time capped Spanish international moved to Espanyol in 2020 from Benfica, starting his career as a product of the Real Madrid academy – the striker has scored 30 career La Liga goals, with and additional 74 goals scored in Spain’s second tier.
The transfer would at least appease fans that desperately wanted a new striker in the doors before the deadline, but it would represent a real climb down on targets such as Dusan Vlahovic, Alexander Isak, Jonathan David and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
