Perhaps the worst secret is Arsenal looking to sign Mikel Arteta’s new striker this summer.

Arteta was watching from the sidelines as his gunner side pulled out Premier League matches more than any other side in the top half, scoring just 69 goals on top flights.

Gunners have now identified a new wider target that can reach the level of Liverpool’s legendary Sadio Mane.
The main factor was the long-term injury that Kai Herberts and Gabriel Jesus stood by the sidelines midway through the campaign, prompting Arteta to deploy Mikel Merino in the role of an urgent striker.

Arsenal’s final third lack of ability makes them abandon Liverpool’s Premier League title with 10 points in the earthquake, and sports director Andrea Berta appears determined to ensure that the next period does not repeat that scenario.
According to trusted media sources, Arsenal’s Berta’s two top striker targets sport CP star Viktor Gyoker and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Arsenal launched Sesco’s “concrete” talk last week, with some Portuguese reports claiming that Gjoker had received a contract from Arsenal. The people of North London seem to lay the foundation for both deals before they officially move towards their best option, and the two frontmen have a very attractive qualification.
That being said, there were alternative options being considered, one of which was Igor Jesus, the striker of Botafogo.
Last month, it was reported that Arsenal had actually contacted him about a deal with Yes, who has a £84 million release clause in his contract.
Igor Jesus “joins” Nottingham Forest, who snuggled Arsenal
However, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, Arsenal appears to be set to overlook the moves of the highly rated Brazilians, according to Bootroom’s work.
It has been reported that Jesus will instead be “joining now” at Nottingham Forest, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s side concluded the 24-year-old’s £30 million contract after he began his speech. The striker also attracted interest from Brentford, Everton, Leeds United, Newcastle and West Ham, but Forest is now in the position of Paul to secure his signature.
Arsenal has one less option to look at if they can’t make a deal for Sesco or Gyoker.
“Igor Jesus had an incredible year,” said journalist Zach Roy in late 2024.
“He’s just starting out.”
