Mikel Arteta is preparing for a crucial summer transfer window that could reshape Arsenal’s squad for the upcoming season. With the club narrowly missing out on major titles in recent years, Arteta’s focus is on strengthening key areas to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League crown.
Among the players being considered for this ambitious rebuild are Rodrygo, Viktor Gyokeres, and Bukayo Saka, who together could form a formidable front line.
After coming close to success but falling just short over the past three campaigns, there’s growing belief that this transfer window will be pivotal for Arsenal’s ambitions.
Supporters and analysts alike view this as a decisive moment for Arteta and his team. While some fans argue that as long as the team stays competitive and consistently fights for trophies, Arteta deserves patience, the majority agree that silverware is overdue for a club of Arsenal’s stature.
Ideally, Arsenal’s board will fully back Arteta in the market this summer, allowing him to build a squad capable of taking on domestic and European challenges. Football.london recently imagined how Arsenal’s lineup could look if these transfer hopes become reality.
Defensively, Arsenal’s setup is expected to stay consistent. David Raya is likely to continue as the first-choice goalkeeper, supported by a backline of Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
While defensive reinforcements might arrive, they would mostly serve to increase squad depth rather than displace existing starters. Jorrel Hato has been mentioned as a potential target to bolster the options at the back.
In midfield, the club remains optimistic about landing Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. His addition would further strengthen a central trio already featuring Declan Rice and captain Martin Odegaard. The biggest excitement, however, surrounds potential signings for Arsenal’s forward line.
Viktor Gyokeres, currently at Sporting CP, has emerged as a leading candidate to lead the attack. Despite a €100 million (£84.3 million) release clause, Arsenal might negotiate a reasonable deal for the prolific Swedish striker. Meanwhile, Rodrygo of Real Madrid is another high-profile target, potentially slotting into the left-wing role to complete a dynamic attacking trio alongside Saka and Gyokeres.
If Arteta can successfully pull off these moves, Arsenal could head into next season with a revitalized lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Zubimendi, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Rodrygo.
