It seems that Evan Ferguson and Viktor Gyokeres have caught the attention of Arsenal's transfer team. The Gunners are currently looking for some top-notch forwards to add to their squad for the upcoming season. However, their transfers will heavily depend on the players they let go, according to sources.
Despite having a successful season so far, Arsenal is still on the hunt for a prolific goal scorer. Their current strikers, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah, have only managed to score a total of nine goals in the Premier League. Jesus has been struggling with injuries, limiting his playing time and putting him behind seven of his teammates in terms of goals scored. Surprisingly, even their centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has scored the same number of goals as Jesus.
As a result, Arsenal has been linked with numerous strikers during the January transfer window, but unfortunately, they were unable to secure the services of Ivan Toney due to high price demands from his club, Brentford. According to reports from The Athletic, Toney will still be an option for Arsenal in the upcoming summer window, along with other potential names on their transfer shortlist.
One of the players that Arsenal has been eyeing for quite some time is Victor Osimhen. The Napoli striker has expressed his desire to leave the club at the end of the season, and Arsenal has been one of the teams linked with his signature, alongside Chelsea. However, it seems that Osimhen comes with a hefty price tag of £150 million, which Arsenal is not willing to meet.
Another player that Arsenal has been keeping an eye on is Sporting attacker Viktor Gyokeres, who has been having an exceptional season in Portugal. The Gunners are interested in the Swedish player and have even received positive feedback about him from their scouting team. Gyokeres could be a more affordable option compared to Osimhen, with a price tag of around £75 million.
However, Arsenal will face stiff competition from Chelsea, who is also interested in Gyokeres. Another potential target for Arsenal is RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, a young and promising striker with a release clause of £43 million. The Gunners have also shown interest in Evan Ferguson, but Brighton is reportedly asking for a fee of over £100 million, which could be too steep for Arsenal.
Aside from a new striker, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is also keen on bringing in a midfielder, a back-up winger, a left-back, and a replacement goalkeeper for Aaron Ramsdale if he decides to leave. They also need to make David Raya's loan move permanent. However, all of these transfers will depend on the funds Arsenal can raise from player sales and how much budget they have to allocate to different positions.
In conclusion, Arsenal is actively looking for new additions to their squad for the upcoming season. With a title battle on their hands and a quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, they need to strengthen their team to stay competitive. However, their transfers will depend on their ability to sell players and manage their budget wisely.
