Finally, last season, Liverpool’s 10-point drifting, forced to settle for another silver medal finish among the English elite, with Arsenal finishing the 2024/25 campaign without showing off one silverware at a time.
With several suggestions over the past few months, Mikel Arteta can put some pressure on his shoulder, making the gunners face a crucial summer behind the scenes in North London.
Defensive talisman Gabriel Magalhais may have put his pen on paper in a new deal earlier this month, but it’s no secret that Arsenal is number 9 at the top of his summer wish list.
Again, he chose to pass the opportunity to introduce a new, impressive star during the January transfer period.
Arteta knows that it could be the difference between legal shooters claiming their first Premier League crown since 2004, so the gunners are heavily linked to some of Europe’s biggest impressive stars.
Rodrigo – Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso may be going on a new era with Real Madrid at the Club World Cup this summer, but it appears that one of the attacking superstars hasn’t hanged out for too long.
It has also been reported that Los Blancos is willing to let go of Brazilian international after Rodrigo proposed over the past month to ensure travel from the Spanish capital.
French skipper Kylian Mbappe may have enjoyed a record-breaking Maiden campaign among the Spanish elite last season, but Rodrigo has been an important part of Madrid’s team over the past four years.
The former Santos starlet has recorded 20 direct target contributions across all competitions last season, receiving a lot of interest from European heavyweights.
Something like Manchester United may have been heavily linked to the 24-year-old’s move, but it was reported over the weekend that Arsenal was already beginning its first debate about what could make a move of 100 million euros.

Benjamin Sesco-RB Leipzig
Last month, heading for a seventh place finish, RB Leipzig, who has completely missed all sorts of European adventures next season, has already embraced their offensive talismans moving this summer.
Benjamin Sesco, who scored 13 Bundesliga goals last season and notched five more assists, has been impressed since his arrival from Salzburg, Austrian outfit in the summer of 2023.
The 22-year-old, considered one of Europe’s hottest young strike starlets, has plenty of worshippers around North London, and it was reported that Arsenal is weighing potential big money moves during the January transfer period.
As Atteta suggested he is a huge fan of the 41-cap Slovenian International, Leipzig is reportedly accepting a £68 million north bid and is already beginning to support a potential alternative.
Sesko may have informed his representatives that he is willing to force a move from Red Bull Arena this summer, but he is keen to win a move to Arsenal and the opportunity to play Champions League football.

Viktor Gyoker-Sport Lisbon
Viktor Gyoker may have arrived in Lisbon two years ago after completing a permanent switch from Coventry in the Championship outfit, but the Swedish marksman soon bloomed into one of Europe’s most iconic number nines.
Bossing the sport to the 21st domestic crown that made history last season, Swedish International finds his stock at red-hot heights and is being billed as one of Europe’s most clinical strikers.
But now at the heart of a sport and a nasty public divorce, Gyoker is desperate to clarify his frustration and complete the move that has permeated from Lisbon this summer.
The astounding 97 goals in 102 appearances in all competitions is widely suggested that the 26-cap International is firmly in its sights on securing a Premier League switch over the coming weeks.
Former sports boss Reuben Amorim may be trying everything in his powers to seduce Gyoker to the Old Trafford reunion, but it is suggested that former Brighton youngsters prioritize the North London move.
Biktor Gyökeres’ priorities are to join Arsenal this summer despite calls from Manchester United in recent weeks.
Gyökeres has always been an option while Shashko discusses what has not been sealed so far, and Arsenal continues to assess the situation.
