Arsenal has been actively entering the market this summer for one or two of Mikel Arteta’s new offensive players, and the Gunners are now urging the Gunners to take action for a highly rated striker who is said to be on Andrea Berta’s roster.
Arsenal’s “many talks” against new wingers
Bukayo Saka’s long injury absence midway through 2024/2025, coupled with the uncertainty of Leandro Trossard’s long-term future, seems to prompt Arsenal to consider signing the winger’s signing.

The Gunners have contacted this week.
The Belgian is about to sign a contract in north London for the last 12 months, and there is even some advice that Arsenal will also offer a suitable bid for Gabriel Martinelli, who is worth about £50m, so the wide selection of Arteta may be slightly different when we reach 2025/2026.
In terms of potential income, negotiations have been held for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, where Arsenal is considered a “dream signing” but the negotiations proved complicated due to wage requirements (Florian Plettenberg).

That being said, Rodrigo is by no means the only option for them, with Berta having “numbered conversations” about many goals including Atalanta star Ademola Lookman.
The Nigerian is reportedly worth about £42 million, which could be a bargain considering his Serie A power over the past two seasons.
Lookman’s devastating performance in the 2024 Europa League final ended Bayer Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten run, scoring 20 goals in all competitions this season.
Arsenal has negotiated on Lookman, and club legend Ian Wright is now urging Berta to reach a deal, according to multiple reports.
Ian Wright urges Arsenal to sign Ademola Lookman after alleged negotiations
The N5 icon expressed admiration for Lookman’s highest effect when he spoke on Wrighty’s House podcast this week and branded him the “top” player.
Wright also urged Arsenal to sign Lookman before the start of next season, which explains exactly why he thinks the Africans will do well under Arteta’s leadership.
“I will win the man’s journey with Ademola Lookman to win the African Player of the Year,” Wright said.
“I remember him from Charlton, he didn’t work, £10m to Everton and then moving all over the place, from loans to that, I think it was one of the most devastating shows I’ve seen in any final, and he scored.
“I hope we can buy him, Arsenal. I hope someone like him goes back to the Premier League and says, ‘Listen, I have unfinished business here, so I’m going to help Arsenal win the league’.
“But I just admire his journey and now he is rightly regarded as a top player, which is incredible.”
