Arsenal prioritizing a better winger than Leroy Sane in summer 2025 window

Arsenal are in the market for attacking help in the summer 2025 transfer window after paying the price of not signing a top striker in summer 2024, which has been complete annihilation at the hands of Liverpool in the 2024/25 Premier League table. The Gunners will almost assuredly be after a striker in the upcoming summer market, and there is a gamut of strong, emerging options up top such as Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, Viktor Gyokeres, Alexander Isak, and potentially more. But Arsenal don't just need a new striker to spice up the attack. The North London giants should also be looking for more wingers. A right winger to back Bukayo Saka up would be nice, but someone to compete heavily with Gabriel Martinelli on the left side should be nearly as big of a priority as a striker. Th...

Arsenal have a staggering transfer budget for summer 2025 window

Arsenal have been criticized for not being aggressive enough in the summer transfer window, and they paid for it dearly this season by falling well and truly out of the Premier League title race after failing to sign a striker in summer 2024. Now, the Gunners are firmly in the market for a top striker in the summer 2025 transfer window, but they have also been linked to two world-class midfielders in Bruno Guimaraes and Martin Zubimendi, who will reportedly be the priorities of the new sporting director. GiveMeSport insider Ben Jacobs corroborates this information and adds in his own report that Arsenal will have a whopping 300 million pounds to spend in the coming transfer window. That's major cash that Arsenal can use to sign both those midfielders - if they want to - and still ...

Arsenal’s new sporting director is prioritizing two world-class midfield transfers

Arsenal have hired former Atletico Madrid sporting director Andrea Berta to lead the club in the same role, replacing Edu, who left the Gunners in early November of last year to head up the Nottingham Forest project (among a group of clubs). Berta has the task of turning Arsenal into a Premier League champion again. It's been decades since Arsenal last reached the very summit of the Premier League, and while they came close to winning it all in each of the past two seasons, the Gunners have fallen far behind in the 2024/25 season. With the struggles in front of goal this season, Arsenal clearly need to sign a top striker after balking on addressing the position in the summer 2024 transfer window. But even after signing one of the best midfielders in LaLiga last year in Mikel Merino, ...

The 3 worst contracts Arsenal must get rid of in the summer 2025 transfer window

Here are three contracts Arsenal will want to get off their wage bill in the summer 2025 transfer window. All salary details are courtesy of FBRef.com. DM Thomas Partey Thomas Partey will be a free agent at the end of the 2024/25 season, and it's time that Arsenal moved on from the veteran defensive midfielder instead of giving him a raise. The 31-year-old is quietly on the decline, but he was never more than an average starter to begin with. And at 10.4 million pounds, Thomas makes considerably more money than he's worth to the Gunners when his main assets are al traits the club could easily find elsewhere for cheaper. Thomas is a good defender who can complete simple passes, and those kinds of players are a dime in a dozen and usually earn half that amount of money. Arsenal can l...

Three summer 2025 transfers to take Arsenal to the next level

Here are three players Arsenal must target in the summer 2025 transfer window if they want to reach the next level. Atalanta ST Mateo Retegui Everyone knows that Arsenal need a new striker in the summer 2025 transfer window, and after balking on signing a new No. 9 last summer, Mikel Arteta and friends are paying dearly for their lack of ambition by falling out of the title race entirely in 2024/25, especially amidst Bukayo Saka's hamstring injury. From Viktor Gyokers and Benjamin Sesko to Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, Arsenal have been linked to everyone under the sun, no pun intended, ahead of the summer market. But one name that should get mentioned more often is the free-scoring Italian international Mateo Retegui, who has been wanted by virtually everyone in Serie A but has...

Arsenal quietly get amazing Bukayo Saka injury news

Arsenal suffered another disappointing performance in the Premier League this weekend, drawing bottom-feeders Manchester United 1-1 at Old Trafford in a game in which they dominated possession. But Arsenal were unable to turn that possessional dominance into much meaningful, and, actually, they can consider themselves lucky to have gotten a point, as they owe a lot to David Raya and two especially brilliant saves that kept Arsenal in it. Arsenal continue to have issues with putting away chances or even creating clear-cut attacking opportunities, but, hopefully, a portion of those issues will be mitigated shortly. That's because, prior to kickoff, Arsenal fans received some positive injury news regarding their best player, right winger Bukayo Saka. According to Gunnerblog, Saka is ...

David Ornstein addresses Hugo Ekitike to Arsenal transfer rumors

Arsenal didn't sign a new striker in the summer 2024 transfer window and are now paying a dear price for their mistake. Despite a seven-goal outburst against PSV in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, the Gunners have struggled to get enough goals this season and have fallen well and truly behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race. Kai Havertz's and Gabriel Jesus's injuries have added another level of desperation to the Arsenal attack, whose performance against PSV can be taken as more of an opponent-based exception to the rule. Arsenal will, once again, be linked to a large number of top strikers next summer, but instead of just being linked with up-and-coming goal-scorers like Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, the Gunners will also be linked to sure-fire el...

Arsenal learn Newcastle’s latest Alexander Isak transfer asking price

Arsenal decided not to sign a top striker in the summer 2024 transfer window, though the best options, like Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko, weren't really available. Aside from Raheem Sterling, Arsenal didn't make any significant attacking signings, and now that Kai Havertz is injured to further mount the issues up top, the Gunners are left floundering in the attack and well behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race this season. Gyokeres and Sesko will continue to be priority transfer targets for Arsenal, but the North London giants will need to beef up their list of prospective hires with more ambitious names. Alexander Isak has been the best striker in the Premier League this season The most ambitious of them is Alexander Isak, with the Newcastle striker establishing ...

3 reasons why Arsenal want to sign Matheus Cunha in January 2025 transfer window

After a 3-1 loss to Chelsea in the Premier League, Wolves superstar Matheus Cunha fueled transfer speculation and caused quite a stir among supporters when he headed straight down to the tunnel at the final whistle. Throughout the match, Cunha looked lethargic and disinterested, in stark contrast to his usual performances this season, which have been of the highest caliber and rank him among the Premier League Player of the Season candidates. Cunha wasn't the only poor performer against Chelsea, but as the team's best player and captain, much more is expected from the Brazilian international than what he showed on Monday night. His manager, Vitor Pereira, had some very harsh words for his star man after the game that were captured by BBC Sport journalist Nizaar Kinsella, He’s a ca...
