Arsenal's summer transfer plan revealed: forwards and midfield will be strengthened

March 15th news, Premier League giants Arsenal will usher in a busy period in the upcoming summer transfer window. The team plans to strengthen in multiple positions to improve overall competitiveness and launch a stronger impact on the championship in the coming season. At the same time, Arsenal will also clean up and sell some players to optimize the lineup structure and raise transfer funds .

Arsenal currently has some shortcomings on the offensive end, especially the lack of a top shooter at the center position. Although Havertz was arranged in the forward position this season, his scoring ability did not meet the team's expectations. Therefore, Arsenal will introduce a high-level center forward as the top priority in the summer window.

It is reported that Arsenal's top target is Newcastle United's Swedish striker Isak. The player has excellent speed, shooting and technical ability, which fully meets Arsenal's tactical needs. However, Isak's transfer fee is expected to exceed 150 million euros, which makes Arsenal's recruitment more difficult. Therefore, the club is also considering other alternatives, including Salzburg Red Bull's Sheshko and Paris Saint-Germain's Ekitik, who are also included in the candidate list.

In the winger position, Arsenal has a world-class player in Saka on the right, but the competitiveness of the left winger is relatively weak. The performances of Martinelli and Trossard failed to fully meet Arteta's tactical requirements, so Arsenal plans to introduce a top player on the left to balance the threat on the offensive end and share Saka's pressure.

Currently, Arsenal's target is Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao. The Spanish international has been recognized by Arteta for his excellent speed and breakthrough ability. However, his contract contains a high release clause. If Arsenal wants to bring him to the Emirates Stadium, it will inevitably have to invest a lot of money.

As Thomas Partey and Jorginho are expected to leave the team at the end of the season, Arsenal needs to introduce new players to fill the vacancy in the midfield. At present, the team's primary target is Real Sociedad's Spanish midfielder Zubimendi. Arsenal has made preliminary contact with the player and plans to activate his release clause in the summer window to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

In addition, Newcastle United's Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes is also one of Arsenal's signing targets. However, since Newcastle United is unwilling to sell this core player easily and may ask for a high price, there are still many variables as to whether Arsenal can complete the deal. If Guimaraes cannot be introduced, Arsenal may consider other alternatives to ensure that the midfield strength is strengthened.

In addition to signings, Arsenal also plans to sell some players to make room for new players and raise funds. It is reported that the team may sell several fringe players and even does not rule out the possibility of individual key players being traded.

For Arsenal, the operation of this summer transfer window is crucial and will directly affect the team's competitiveness in the next season. If the key signings can be successfully completed, the Gunners will have a stronger championship strength in the coming season and launch a stronger impact on the Premier League and even the Champions League.
