Arsenal Misses €40M Striker Deadline
18 Jul
Summary
- Arsenal missed a €40 million release clause for Serhou Guirassy.
- The striker's contract clause expired on July 15th.
- Dortmund may demand a higher fee if Arsenal reignites interest.

Arsenal has missed the opportunity to sign striker Serhou Guirassy for a reported €40 million. The forward, who has been a long-term target, had a release clause in his contract with Borussia Dortmund that expired on July 15th. His performances in Germany have established him as a standout player.
With the deadline passed, Arsenal may face a significantly higher asking price if they wish to pursue Guirassy. The Gunners are actively seeking attacking reinforcements this summer, with potential changes to their current squad expected. The club is assessing various targets to strengthen their forward line before the transfer window closes.
Guirassy could have offered valuable experience and consistent goal-scoring ability. However, Arsenal might now pivot to younger prospects as they plan for the future. The club continues its market assessment to secure the best additions for their squad.
