The mission is clear for Andrea Berta this summer. Sign a new striker or risk the anger of Arsenal fans worldwide.
To give his credit to the Italian, he did a very good job during the first month of the summer transfer window, but there is still a lot to do and the full judgment will be reserved until the market is closed.
While the Gunners have not yet confirmed the new signatures, there are three on the way to the form of Kepa Arrizabalaga, Christian Norgaard and More exciting, Martin Zubimendi.
Celebrated by the Spanish manager Luis de la Fuente as “One of the best field environments in the world“, European football expert Sid Lowe previously noted That the 26-year-old “is roughly an in-depth midfielder there, in Europe, apart from Rodri”.
So what we can enter it is that he is a very good player.
But, and it’s a key but, Mikel Arteta And the COs have not yet signed a new striker.
There seem to be two candidates to be presented as the new n ° 9 in Arsenal; Benjamin SESKO and Viktor.
Sesko was chased by the Gunners last summer, but the Slovenian finally signed a new contract with RB Leipzig. He stayed in Germany an additional year, but should largely leave the Bundesliga behind this window.
Unfortunately for Arsenal, Leipzig demanded in the region of 80 million euros (68 million pounds sterling) at 100 million euros (85 million pounds sterling) for the attacker. In recent days, German publication Bild Suggest that they are now ready to lower this to something around the brand of 70 million euros (60 million pounds sterling) with additional modules.
If these costs are held, you would not bet against Arsenal offering the right amount.
The situation surrounding the gyokerres is also complex, in particular after a report reported with the sports hierarchy on the terms of its exit.
A report From the Portuguese exit, the gamerevealed that the Swedish club will hold a figure of 80 million euros (68 million pounds sterling), but that was not what was agreed before the summer.
The publication confirms that the Gunners have already concluded an “agreement” with the player’s agent, Hasan Cetinkaya, concerning costs.
Cetinkaya would have “bet” on a price of around 60 million euros plus 10 million euros in additional modules (60 million pounds sterling in total), an amount they claim was agreed with the player’s agent and sport before the window.
So anyone Arteta manages to get their hands, it is likely that the Gunners will have spent something around the 70 million pound sterling.
If 2024/25 proved something, it is because Arsenal depends too much on too Bukayo of. However, that should not surprise.
He has been the club’s best player in recent years and has shown that in scoring 12 goals, The highest second of the club And record 14 assists last season, at the top of the graphics of this particular metric.
SAKA produced these figures while missing the campaign for several months with a long-term hamstiff injury.
Meanwhile, the Gunners have undergone the consequences. Despite the emergence of Wonderkid, Ethan Nwaneri, the lack of depth of Arteta on the right flank was exposed.
As their lack of global quality in the last third, especially when Kai Havertz also underwent an injury to the hamstring.
During the time of Saka on the sidelines, Arsenal abandoned points in five of the 12 league games He missed, points that proved to be expensive in their attempt to win the title. They also scored only two goals in a match in two of these matches, the 5-1 dubbing against Manchester City and the 3-1 victory against Brentford.
Thus, Saka is quite crucial, as is the addition of a new central center. The idea of the best arsenal player combining with an attacker as powerful as Gyokerres is an attacker.
Regarding pure goals, there is no better player in Europe. He found the net a Huge 54 times in 52 games last season And given the Arsenal need objectives, it should be the number one option this summer.
Described as a “monster” By journalist Alex Turk, it sums up his abilities in the penalty zone. His record in the past two years is simply bizarre.
For Saka, this should be a match made in paradise. While Gyokerres is a marking machine, Saka is the creative machine. Last season, the right bird Ranked number one in the Premier League For decisive passes for 90 minutes (0.41), shooting actions by 90 (6.09) and actions to create goals by 90 (1.20).

These figures were produced without a direct center center in the ranks of arsenal for much of the season.
The expected decisive assists (XA) are a metric designed to measure the probability that a passing will become a lens aid.
So, simply imagine the remarkable numbers he could put in place if he played alongside Gyokerres in the attack of Arteta. It could be the combination that helps bring Arsenal closer to the title next season.
