£6.5m Striker With 18 Goals This Season Hints At Arsenal Switch - Player Report

Arsenal have a huge chance of winning the Premier League this season, though they will have to be resilient for the rest of the campaign. Olivier Giroud has been brilliant for most of it but the fact the north London side have relied on him for the entire season has seen his form drop. As a result the Gunners have been linked with a host of different forwards, one of which has been named as Standard Liege's Michy Batshuayi.

But who is he, and what could he offer the Emirates outfit?

The first thing you need to know about the forward is that he scored 18 goals this season in the Belgian topflight, making his the division's top scorer.

As strong as the Jupiter Pro League is, the allure of the Premier League is huge.

He's a lanky player who is lightning quick and would be a different option to anything Wenger currently has at his disposal. He's also strong in the air.

The frontman reportedly has a £6.5m release clause in his contract which sounds reasonably cheap considering today's climate, and if you have seen him play then you will know just how good of a deal that would be.

This clip will show you a bit more.
