Next week, Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, plans to purchase one of the top attackers in Europe.

The striker position has been a source of frustration for Arsenal’s coaching staff lately. Arsenal rotated between Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as centre forward at the start of the previous campaign. But neither was performing at their best.

Kai Havertz started to play better in December, and Mikel Arteta bravely moved him up to the top spot. Arsenal continued to correct this frame until the end of the season and produced a lot of excellent outcomes after that.

Arsenal’s goal is still, of course, to have a striker who nets more than 20 goals a season. A centre forward who stays close to the penalty area and has the ability to subdue opposing centre backs will eventually take Havertz’s function of drawing in opposition defenders and facilitating connections amongst other satellites.

For this reason, a lot of reports claim that Eddie Nketiah is being sold by Arsenal. The English striker is anticipated to fetch between 40 and 50 million pounds to the Gunners. If there’s a good offer, even Jesus might be put up for negotiation.

This financial accumulation will enable Arsenal to make a major transaction this summer that will rival Declan Rice’s from a year ago in terms of scope.

Swedish international Viktor Gyokeres is reportedly “very close” to joining Arsenal, according to a recent report from the Portuguese tabloid Leonino via Sport Witness. The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been verified.

FourFourTwo holds a similar opinion. They think that Arsenal is undoubtedly monitoring Gyokeres, but Arsenal will have difficulties with the deal’s financial component.

According to Caught Offside’s April report, Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese champions, demanded €100 million for the Swedish striker’s signature, or a comparable deal structure, based on his release clause.

front team’s arsenal sacrificed for a 100 million euro goalArsenal faces a significant obstacle because they still need to acquire players for a variety of positions, not only forwards.

To be able to write a “cheque” for hundreds of millions of pounds, Arsenal will first need to fire a number of “redundant” employees at Emirates. The Gunners must first find a way to express their feelings to Reiss Nelson, Thomas Partey, Emile Smith Rowe, or Jakub Kiwior before considering other options.

However, Arsenal must also think about their backup plan. There are alternative reasonably priced strikers available. It is extremely hazardous to spend 100 million euros for a striker who has only been active for one season. Gyokeres has played in England before, but it does not mean he will do well in a challenging league like the Premier League. Gyokeres played for Coventry in the Championship. Thus, prior to a historic agreement, this is the time when people need Edu’s negotiation abilities and Arteta’s vision.
