Arsenal are looking to strengthen their forward line this summer. Their primary focus is to find an ideal for the left winger.
The Gunners might look to part ways with Gabriel Martinelli next summer, with the Brazilian attracting interest from Atletico Madrid.
Also, Leandro Trossard is already 31, and Arteta might look to move him on as well. Even if he doesn’t, the Spaniard cannot expect Trossard to take the workload entirely on his shoulders.
That is why signing a world-class left-winger will be the priority for the Gunners. Now, their first preference was Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Now, PSG have slapped a €180 million price tag on the Georgian winger. As a result, the Gunners are now trying to find ideal alternatives.
Also, Kvaratskhelia is happy at PSG and has no intention of leaving the French capital. That is why the Gunners may not end up signing the player.
However, Mikel Arteta has already identified an ideal alternative for Kvaratskhelia from the Premier League.
According to the BBC, Arsenal rate Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United very highly. So, they could make a move for the former Everton forward.
Now, Newcastle will not make things easy for the Gunners. However, they are expected to be more open about departures than last season.
The Alexander Isak to Liverpool transfer was messy, and the Newcastle CEO has already mentioned that he will not let things escalate like that this season.
So, Newcastle will be open about players leaving, but on their own terms. Thus, if the Gunners can pay the right price, they will have a great chance of signing Gordon next summer.
With the summer transfer window approaching, it is expected that Arsenal will be linked with multiple wingers across Europe.
