The Arsenal Star injury prevents Berta from signing two players in a key position

Arsenal Sports director Andrea Berta could have signed two players in the same position this summer, but an injury to one of the Mikel ArtetaMen have apparently thwarted these plans.

Arsenal is defeated in the front row in the semi-finals of the Champions League

On the field, the Arteta team suffered a setback in its pursuit of a very first title of the Champions League on Tuesday evening, PSG defeating them 1-0 in the first leg of their tie in the semi-finals.

The very early objective of Ousmane Dembélé was ultimately sufficient to win an advantage in a goal for the French champions before their replay at the Parc des Princes, with Gianluigi Donnarumma achieving excellent savings of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.

Mikel Merino also saw his head of equalization excluded by Var for the offside, so it was close but not cigar for the Gunners, who will face a difficult battle to return against a PSG side in shape on the enemy lawn.

However, as Arteta said in her Post-match press conferenceIt’s only at halftime, and we have seen much more improbable European feedback in recent years.

“You can’t,” said Arteta on the need for control against PSG for every 90 minutes.

“It is one of the best, beating all the English teams, the best teams in this country. You cannot dominate this team in 95 minutes. Impossible. Forget that. You have to understand what it means to dominate them and in which area of ​​pitch. We must be very clear.

Arteta is fully aware of the difficult task against his Arsenal team in PSG, which has lost only one match of the Ligue 1 all the season and was undefeated until last Friday, but there is always the optimism of its end.

“I do not know the percentage, but we have a lot of chance of being in this final,” said Arteta. “While I repeat myself, you have to do something, especially in the competition, to gain the right to be in the final and the time to do it will be in Paris.”

Gabriel Jesus wounds thwarted arsenal plan to sign two attackers

Off the field, Berta plans to sign an attacker for Arsenal this summerAs has been reported for some time.

However, according to journalist Graeme Bailey, in a room for the start -up room, the Gunners could have signed two new centers this summer, if it was not for Gabriel Jesus And his long -term injury.

Jesus could even be out of action for Arsenal until 2026According to other reports, and this apparently thwarted the possibility that Berta sealing a double-attacker agreement.

Bailey says that Arsenal could have sold Jesus this summerWho would have opened the door for two number new to arrive instead of one, but the recovery of the Brazilian from a break from LCA means that they had to put plans to sell.

With Berta unable to collect funds and reduce wages thanks to the sale of Jesus, the prospect of more than one attacker is now impossible.

It is hardly the end of the world, because a prolific star leader should always arrive and compete with Kai Havertz, but it could have been an even more busy summer in the attack zones.
