Mikel Arteta led Arsenal to a third consecutive second place in the Premier League this season and the Gunners are expected to invest during the summer transfer window
The most important priority of Arsenal this summer seems to be a new striker, but that is not the only area they want to strengthen. The side of Mikel Arteta ended a distant second behind Liverpool in the Premier League, and will probably have to make additions to keep pace with their title Rivals subsequent term.
Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are the two strikers who are most difficult, with conversations about a Sesko movement. The RB Leipzig striker will not be cheap, but those in the club seem to believe that he has the quality to lead the line now and for a long time in the future.
A movement for a new striker should let the team fill in better in midfield, where Mikel Merino no longer had to deput in Attack and Kai Havertz, which may fall deeper for certain competitions. However, a deeper midfielder is still a priority, in which Martin Zubimendi expected to fulfill that role.
Mikel Arteta is preparing to lose Kieran Tierney and Jorginho, while Raheem Sterling and Neto have been set to return to their parent clubs. However, the manager indicated that he will have the support of the board this summer and excitement has been built over newcomers.
There is still a long way to go for the start of the new season, but we have already seen a lot of movement elsewhere and Arsenal could be very good. Here are the latest rules of Mirror Football from the Stadium of Emirates.
Barcelona in Pedey Talks
Barcelona is in conversation during a summer movement for Thomas Pareny, according to the sun. The Ghana International has no contract in Arsenal this summer, so he can move for nothing.
Pedey was in conversation with Arsenal during an extension. Without no agreement, it is said that the Catalan club is exploring a blow.
The former husband of Atletico Madrid, who will be 32 in June, was one of the first signing sessions of Mikel Arteta when he participated in the summer of 2020. Arteta has publicly expressed his wish to keep the player in the area.
Garcia is staying in La Liga
Joan Garcia is staying at Barcelona and is ready to join Hansi Flick's Club of local rivals Espanyol. Goalkeeper Garcia had been a target for Arsenal in earlier windows, with Newcastle linked.
According to Sport, the 24-year-old, however, reached an agreement with Barca prior to a £ 21 million switch. The Catalan publication reports that he will be the new keeper of Barcelona next week as soon as the player returns from a planned vacation.
Wojciech Szczesny and Marc-Andre Ter-Stegen shared the goalkeepers in the next term under Flick. Both can still stay with the club in the next term and fight with Garcia for a starting point, but the new man is expected to focus from the start of the first team.
Brighton Set Joao Pedro Asking price
Brighton accepts nothing less than £ 70 million for Joao Pedro, reports The Sun. The Brazilian frontman was mentioned in connection with an arsenal switch, although Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres still seem to be at the top of the queue.
The 23-year-old joined the seagulls in a club record deal in the summer of 2023. He scored 30 goals in 70 performances for the club, which is said to be not busy selling.
Two of his 10 league goals in the past term met Arsenal. He earned the side of Fabian Hurzeler a point against a Gunners side of 10 men in August, and also raised things in January in the reverse fixture on the south coast.
