As the summer transfer window comes to a close, Arsenal Football Club finds itself at a crossroads, with concerns surrounding the form of their star striker Gabriel Jesus. This uncertainty has led to a surge in speculation about the Gunners’ planning for the future, with a rumoured desire to bring in a new centre-forward to bolster the squad.
According to sources, Arsenal is prepared to make a move for a new striker in the coming year, with a particular focus on a key area of the pitch that has been a subject of debate this season. The Gunners have reportedly been tracking a host of players, including Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres, Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram, and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush.
However, the interest in Jesus’s future has piqued, with the Brazilian international set to meet with sporting director Edu Gaspar and head coach Mikel Arteta to discuss his position at the club. As a result, several top clubs, including Palmeiras, have begun to circle, eager to snap up the highly touted forward.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is keen to explore all options to bring in a new striker, with several Premier League and European clubs being targeted. According to Football Insider, there is a growing feeling within the club that Dusan Vlahovic, currently plying his trade at Juventus, could be a viable target. The 24-year-old has started the campaign impressively, netting seven goals in 11 appearances, earning him the reputation as the “strongest striker” in Italy, according to his international teammate Filip Kostic.
A potential move for Vlahovic would be a significant coup for Arsenal, with the possibility of landing the Serbian super-star growing daily. As the Gunners continue to explore all avenues to strengthen their attack, one thing is clear – their ambition to succeed in the transfer market will be put to the test in the coming months. With a plethora of talented strikers on their radar, it will be an exciting, yet trying, time for Arsenal as they navigate the complexities of the transfer window.
