Arsenal are gearing up for another crucial summer transfer window with several up-and-coming attackers reportedly on their radar.
Mikel Arteta allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave in January without signing a replacement, and has both Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette out of contract at the end of the campaign.
Therefore a new forward or two will be vital to Arsenal’s prospects, particularly if they can land a place in the Champions League.
Here, we detail the latest Gunners transfer news and rumours...
Noa Lang
Club Brugge winger Lang is reportedly a long-term target for Arsenal, who have scouted the 22-year-old for months, in which time he has racked up eight goals and 12 assists across the campaign.
The former Ajax youth player has already made his Netherlands debut and, according to website Jeunes Footeux, is available for £33million.
It is noted, however, that Tottenham and a number of other European teams are keeping an eye on Lang.
Hugo Ekitike
Newcastle pushed hard to sign French youngster Ekitike on January deadline day but failed to convince him that a move to Tyneside was his best option, leaving him at Stade Reims.
Plenty of clubs have since upped their scouting of the striker, including Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United.
As reported by French outlet But! Football, the Gunners were present for his recent display against Stade Brestois and Reims want £33m for the 19-year-old.
Enzo Fernandez
Manchester City have already snapped up River Plate’s star player, Julian Alvarez, but there is big interest in his 21-year-old colleague Fernandez.
Real Madrid could pose the biggest threat to Arsenal’s interest in the midfielder, which according to website Fichajes is matched by West Ham, Tottenham and Aston Villa.
Matteo Guendouzi
Arsenal are set to make a small profit on midfielder Guendouzi when he completes a permanent move to Marseille.
A £10million fee has been agreed between the clubs as an option in the Frenchman’s loan, which is set to be triggered when the Ligue 1 side officially avoid relegation.
