Arsenal in Talks for £63m Striker

Arsenal is reportedly planning negotiations with a prominent striker and his agents. Mikel Arteta’s team is considering acquiring a forward this summer, alongside other potential targets like Benjamin Sesko, Viktor Gyokeres, and Alexander Isak.

Potential Striker Targets for Arsenal Under Andrea Berta

Andrea Berta, formerly a key figure at Atlético Madrid, is expected to become Arsenal’s new sporting director. Gunners fans are speculating about potential summer transfer plans under his leadership, particularly regarding replacements for the previous transfer lead, Edu.

Berta had a successful 12-year tenure at Atlético before leaving in January. Now, an opportunity in the Premier League with Arsenal arises, as the club is also searching for a new striker.

If Berta joins Arsenal, he will play a crucial role in the club’s pursuit of striker targets. RB Leipzig’s Sesko is reportedly a primary target for Arsenal. Gyokeres and Isak are also mentioned, although signing Isak from Newcastle would be challenging.

Matheus Cunha’s new contract includes a £62.5 million release clause, and Arsenal is monitoring the Brazilian as a possible option for Berta and the Gunners this summer.

A less conventional choice, Eintracht Frankfurt’s talented Hugo Ektike, is also reportedly on Arsenal’s radar for the summer transfer window, following a strong Bundesliga season, though he is estimated to cost around £67 million.

Even Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez is considered a target for Arsenal. Berta is known to be a big admirer of the Argentine and previously attempted to sign him for Atlético Madrid.

Numerous names are circulating in the press as the 2025/2026 season approaches. Arteta is reportedly eager to recruit a prolific goalscorer to strengthen the team’s attack.

Arsenal Considering Galatasaray Striker Victor Osimhen

Galatasaray’s loanee Victor Osimhen has re-emerged as a transfer target for Arsenal, according to reports.

Osimhen, earning £162,000 per week, is currently having a successful loan spell in the Turkish Süper Lig. He is expected to return to Napoli this summer and may be available for transfer.

Arsenal is planning to meet with Osimhen’s agents to discuss a potential transfer before the next window opens. However, they will face competition from Chelsea, Man United, and PSG for the Nigerian striker.

While Gyokeres and Sesko are believed to be higher priorities for Arsenal, they are still scheduled to meet with Osimhen’s representatives to explore the possibility of signing the former Lille player.

Osimhen’s Napoli contract includes a £63 million release clause that becomes active this summer, making him an attractive option considering the high prices of top-level centre-forwards in the current market.
