GOOD DEAL FOR GUNNERS : Ollie Watkins could replace Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal to complete Mikel Arteta’s dream attack
Ollie Watkins could replace Gabriel Jesus at Arsenal to complete Mikel Arteta’s dream attack
Mikel Arteta will be hoping for two more new signings to complete his dream Arsenal attack for the 2024/25 season. Despite scoring a stunning 91 goals in the Premier League last term, the Gunners will undoubtedly want to be more clinical in order to usurp Manchester City as Premier League champions.
In the early stages of the summer window, Arsenal took a keen interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko because of the excellent market opportunity his release clause provided. Though several others were in the race for his signature, Arsenal appeared to be leading the way until the Slovenia international chose to stay at Leipzig and sign a new contract.
Following that, links to other potential striker additions diminished with the Gunners’ focus back on strengthening in midfield and defence. With exactly that in mind, the Gunners are closing in on a deal to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, football.london understands.
An agreement between the two clubs is said to have been reached which will see Arsenal pay £33.7milion plus a potential £4.2million in add-ons. In midfield, Real Sociedad star Mikel Merino appears to be the target Arsenal will push for after losing out on the likes of Amadou Onana, Douglas Luiz and potentially Youssouf Fofana.
The Spain international is said to have already decided he will leave Real Sociedad and with his contract expiring next summer, it is likely a departure arrives ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. While those two signings look to be the focus, Arsenal pushing to sign more attackers cannot necessarily be ruled out.
Though bringing in a right-sided attacker is an aim, Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams is a dream option that Arteta may not be able to turn down. Barcelona are the club currently pushing for his signature having made it clear they can activate his €58million (£49m) release clause.
