With the summer transfer window approaching, Arsenal have their eyes on several ambitious targets, as they look to bolster their squad for the new season.
The Gunners are reportedly targeting two midfielders, a central defender, and a winger, in a bid to strengthen their lineup and challenge for top honours.
One of their primary transfer targets is West Ham United’s Declan Rice.
Arsenal are confident that the English midfielder will make the move to North London, with a proposed salary four times his current earnings at West Ham on offer.
Rice currently earns around £60,000 per week at the Hammers, and the move to Arsenal could see his weekly wage skyrocket to nearly £240,000.
Another potential midfield reinforcement is Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi.
The Spanish midfielder has been attracting interest from numerous top European clubs, including Barcelona and Chelsea, thanks to his impressive performances in LaLiga.
Reports from Spanish media suggest that Arsenal are leading the race for Zubimendi with claims they could announce his signing in the near future.
In the search for attacking options, Arsenal have set their sights on Barcelona’s Ferran Torres.
The 23-year-old winger has struggled for consistent playing time at Camp Nou and is said to be considering a move away.
Arsenal face competition from Aston Villa, but Torres is reportedly open to a transfer to the Gunners, pending Barcelona’s decision on his future.
Defensively, Arsenal are reportedly battling AC Milan and Newcastle United for the signature of Real Valladolid right-back Ivan Fresneda.
The highly-rated youngster has a release clause of €20 million and is considered one of the brightest talents in European football.
Other potential transfer targets include Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby, Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha and Marc Guehi, and Southampton’s Romeo Lavia.
With the club aiming to bring in no less than four reinforcements, it’s clear Arsenal are gearing up for an ambitious summer of activity.
