Arsenal and Chelsea could use Max Moerstedt
Arsenal must provide an alternative to Gabriel Jesús who has not been able to score goals consistently. The Brazilian will need to be replaced if Arsenal are serious about pushing for the league title. Moerstedt could be attracted by the idea of ​​playing in the Premier League, especially if Arsenal are willing to offer him extensive first-team action.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need an alternative to Nicolas Jackson, who has been rather underwhelming since the move from La Liga. Chelsea were overly reliant on Cole Palmer for goals last season and the England international needs more support in attack.
It remains to be seen where the 18-year-old will end up. He has the quality to become a top striker in the Premier League and how Arsenal and Chelsea could turn him into a future superstar.
