Arsenal chooses new ‘priority’, £40m forward signature is likened to Kvaratskhelia

Arsenal and sporting director Andrea Berta set a new “priority” long-term goal for manager Mikel Arteta, which has since been a brilliant performance since the beginning of the year, with his current club clearly resigning to lose him.

Arsenal explores the Raiders’ summer deal

As widely reported, key items on Berta’s agenda this summer are introducing new attackers, both within range and forwards.

Bukayo Saka was missed badly during his long absence, thanks to a serious hamstring injury, while Leandro Trossard’s future uncertainty revolved around his future in the final season of his contract with Arsenal.

Givemesport claims that Arsenal could bring a star replacement for Saka on the right flag, as well as a left wing to cover Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli and others. The biggest target for the wide area is Bilba Olympic star Nico Williams, who has been in touch with him for the past seven days after credible reports that Berta recently held talks with his representatives.

However, Williams will reach a huge salary of about £250,000 a week to join Arsenal, so Berta will also look at other options without guaranteeing that the Spanish international will eventually move to the N5.

Apart from a winger, Arsenal is firmly in a new forward market, and Sporting CP Star Viktor Gyokeres is believed to have become the highest point on their recent wish list.

According to reports in Portugal this week, Arsenal is preparing to make a offer for gyokeres by the end of 2024/2025, so the Swedes’ potential Premier League could eventually come after two sensational sports at Primeira Liga.

As far as Saka’s substitute or competitors are concerned, the Gunners recently borrowed a bright spell at Real Betis, with a stunning connection to the recent £200,000 per week man, Antony Antony.

Arsenal determines Manchester United’s forward as a “priority” target

The Brazilian has scored two goals and two assists for Betis in his last nine La Liga games, quickly found his foot in Spain since joining Manuel Pellegrini in January, and his 2025 performance has not been caused by Arsenal.

According to Spanish media sources, Arsenal has shortlisted Anthony as a new “priority” target, and Betis appears to have resigned from his 25-year-old loan after considering this Premier League match.

According to the report, the winger will open to expand his Betis accommodation, but all signs point to him returning to Old Trafford or finding a new landing site by early 2025/2026.

His rumored price was set at £40m, which was considered more realistic after his excellent loan at Betis, so he would be a fairly cheap option to discount Anthony’s salary.

His playing style is also likened to PSG star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but after his brief time in England, the move will be considered a huge gamble.
