EXPLAINED: Arsenal given huge transfer boost for cristiano ronaldo replacement amid portugal world cup exit | Vintage Vibes

Arsenal have been handed a huge transfer boost for Portuguese striker Goncalo Ramos ahead of January. The Benfica striker scored a hat-trick after replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portugal starting lineup against Switzerland but failed to get on the scoresheet against Morocco.

Portugal have joined Brazil, the Netherlands and England in exiting the World Cup at the quarter-final stage in Qatar. Ramos' impressive display in the last 16 tie against Switzerland led to many fans urging Edu to secure a deal for the 21-year-old.

Ramos has scored 14 goals and provided a further six assists in 21 appearances for Benfica so far this season. The Portuguese outfit may be swamped with bids for their star striker after his impressive displays for his nation at the World Cup.
