Arsenal finished second in the Premier League in each of the last three seasons and is looking for the missing pieces of the puzzle, because they strive to go a better next term
With just under two months to go until the start of the new Premier League season, Arsenal and their rivals get things to get a busy summer. The side of Mikel Arteta has already said goodbye to Jorginho and Kieran Tierney, and more ins and outs are expected between now and the big kick -off.
The most important priority for the Gunners this summer is a new striker. Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres stay high on the list, apparently the most likely candidate with Sesko, because Arteta wants to avoid a repeat of the attacking problems of the second half of the 2024-25 season.
Some Arsenal rivals fully benefited from the early transfer window at the start of the month to do some things. Chelsea and Manchester City have more urgent deadlines, given the start date of the club World Cup, while other deals include the Swoop of Manchester United for Matheus Cunha at the beginning of June.
With Andrea Berta installed as a sports director, fans will again expect a large spending summer. Mikel Merino, David Raya and Riccardo Calafiori have all become members of the previous term, but this time the focus will probably be at the top of the field.
Now that the window has been reopened, we can perhaps stand in line for a few days when the big batters of the Premier League leave their mark. Here are the latest rules of Mirror Football from Noord -Londen.
The huge range of Gyokees
Juventus is ready to steal a march in the race for Viktor Gyokees. The sporty CP striker is strongly connected to both Arsenal and Manchester United, but the Bianceri does not seem to give up quickly.
According to reports in Italy, Juve is ready to meet the requirements of £ 11 million a year £ 11 million a year. Allegedly they are also ready to pay £ 60 million for the Swede, although Sporting may persist for more.
Juventus' striving for the striker can still depend on the future of Dusan Vlahovic. The Italian side is ready to get the big wages of the Serbia striker from their books, and that can make Gyokees room to take his place.
Xhaka is confronted with a decision
Former arsenal captain Granit Xhaka has to decide whether they will stick or turn in the midst of the interest of AC Milan. The Swiss International is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2028, but Gazzetta Dello Sport indicates that Milan is ready to offer him a series a chance.
The Rossoneri are after the midfield reinforcements after losing Tijjani Reijnders at the beginning of June. The Dutch midfielder, one of Milan's better artists last season, moved to Manchester City for a first £ 46.6 million.
Xhaka, now 32, just played shy of 300 games during his seven years in Arsenal. He won the Bundesliga title in his first Leverkusen season and succeeded it with a second place previous term, but has seen manager Xabi Alonso leave for Real Madrid.
Williams learns what he would make at Arsenal
Nico Williams would earn around £ 7.7 million per season if he moves to Arsenal, according to Sport. The Gunners are locked up in a fight with Barcelona on the Spain International, which is still in Boyhood Club Athletic Bilbao for the time being.
The same publication indicates that Williams prefer a switch to Barca if the club is committed to him. However, the Catalan club is also linked to Luis Diaz in Liverpool while striving for options on the left flank.
Neither Barca nor athletics is expected to be able to match Arsenal's offer, but Williams may still accept a lower wage if it means that you join the ruling champions of La Liga. Bayern Munich could also go to Williams before the window closes, while they want to strike after losing Leroy Sane at Galatasaray.
