Arsenal Pursue Multiple £67m–£86m Striker, Defender Targets Amid Transfer Window

Arsenal is actively pursuing multiple signings this summer to strengthen their squad, particularly focusing on defensive and attacking reinforcements. They remain keen on Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande, who has attracted interest from Chelsea and Crystal Palace, with Arsenal needing to act quickly before his price rises. The club is also working on securing striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, valued around £70 million, to address their pressing need for a reliable forward after injuries hampered their attack last season. Alongside Sesko, Arsenal is considering other attacking options, including Viktor Gyokeres and winger targets like Kenan Yildiz and Kaoru Mitoma, while also exploring midfield additions such as Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, though Villa is reluctant to sell. Arsenal is also interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as a backup option. Overall, Mikel Arteta and director Andrea Berta are preparing for a busy transfer window to bolster the squad ahead of the new season, aiming to improve on last season's performance where injuries and lack of depth impacted their title challenge.
