Arsenal plans talks for midfielder Zubimendi, faces stiff competition

Liverpool's need for a new striker has become increasingly apparent, with Luis Diaz's return to form highlighting his role as a left-winger rather than a center-forward. Darwin Nunez's inconsistent performance raises doubts about his long-term fit, while Diogo Jota's injury issues further complicate the forward situation. The article suggests Alexander Isak of Newcastle as a prime target, particularly if the Magpies miss out on Champions League football. Meanwhile, Arsenal is actively pursuing new striker options, including potential free agents, as injuries to key forwards like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus have left them short-handed. Arsenal is also in contact with Atalanta regarding Mateo Retegui, facing competition from Manchester United for the promising striker. The Gunners may be looking to sign multiple forwards this summer to bolster their attacking lineup.
