All eyes are on the summer transfer window at Arsenal after a miserable end to the season meant the Gunners had to settle for a fifth-place finish in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta and Edu are in need of a new forward with Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah set to depart. Gabriel Jesus is understood to be their top target, with the Manchester City man “uncertain” about his future.
A striker remains the top priority this summer and Darwin Nunez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jonathan David, Tammy Abraham, Alvaro Morata and Patrick Schick have all been linked with the Gunners. There could also be some outgoings this summer, with William Saliba admitting he would like to return to Marseille, before Arteta insisted he “has to come back”.
