Arsenal handed Patrik Schick transfer boost as Bayer Leverkusen secure long-term replacement

The striker position will continue to be the subject of Arsenal’s primary focus this summer transfer window. A number of high-profile players have already been linked with the role to fill the void created by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Arsenal could also lose both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah with both players’ contracts reaching their conclusion this summer. The former is almost certain to move on having lost his starting place to Nketiah in the season’s run-in.

Therefore it is understandable that more than a single signing would be required to fill the sizeable gap in the team. Names such as Gabriel Jesus and Victor Osimhen have dominated the discussions however a recent move may have opened the door for Arsenal elsewhere.
