Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is reportedly keen to join Barcelona amid links with a move to Arsenal in the summer. It comes as Mikel Arteta looks to reinforce his forward options in the summer.
The Gunners are set to be left with academy graduate Folarin Balogun as the only natural centre-forward option, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang already making the switch to Catalonia and duo Alexandre Lacezette and Eddie Nketiah set to become free agents. It shows just how much Arteta needs to add to his squad, especially if they qualify for the Champions League.
Discussing his transfer plans back in March, the Spaniard told the media: “I don’t know what is going to happen at the end of the season, we will discuss it and try to assess and make a plan that can work financially, that can be sustainable and obviously that has a huge impact on the team. Because every window has to be a way and form for us to take the club to the next level.”
