In the summer transfer window of Arsenal: the striker of Mikel Arteta, the most important reservation compared to Viktor Gyokeres and when deals are expected to accelerate with Chiefs that will remain calm despite the relief of the fan

When Andrea Berta Edu replaced as ArsenalThe Sporting Director On March 30, three tasks were at the top of his in-car: Land a world-class striker, secured the long-term futures of important stars and fringe players for serious money.

The work has only started for almost three months – and with the transfer window that has been opened since 1 June – Arsenal -Fans are Fidgety. While Liverpool” Manchester United” Chelsea And Manchester City Have the money splashed, the gunners still have to reveal a single signature.

Liverpool, weeks after the lifting of the title, has spent more than £ 150 million Florian WirtzGiorgi Mamardashvili and Jeremie Frimpong with £ 40m Milos Kerkez on their way. City has spent more than £ 100 million on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait Nouri and Rayan Cherki.

But the Gunners are not in panic. The signing of midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, which has been in force since January, will be announced in the coming weeks – Sociedad wants it to be done in July, so it counts the next financial year – and the deal for goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea will be sealed this week.

Arsenal has that too has taken a step for Brentford captain Christian Norgaard, 31To strengthen midfield, because Thomas Partey looks like he will not sign a new contract. Norgaard was tied to the club until 2027 and wants to establish his family in London, but would like to keep the opportunity to move to Arsenal and put an end to his career that is challenging for titles and competing in the Champions League.

However, it is the lack of transfer campaign in the forward line, which are the most disturbing fans. But Berta is working hard behind the scenes. Mail Sport understands that boss Mikel Arteta Want a striker in for their pre-season tour Singapore And Hong Kongfor which they fly on July 19. And the position is at the front and center of the club’s priority list.

Fans are worried about their delayed move for a striker. There are internal concerns about whether Viktor Gyokeres could transfer his scoring record to the Premier League

It is, however, understood that the compensation paid for a frontman will dictate the budget of Arsenal for other functions to a certain extent. Once the price for this striker is secured, the other chips will fall into place, with left -wing options to be reassessed again with the favorite Nico Williams who looks like he’s on his way to Barcelona.

Both Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig and Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres are on the radar of Arsenal, but it is clear that Sesko is the priority.

Sources in the vicinity of the club suggest that the sharpness of Sporting Lisbon to discharge Gyokeres by the day has become clearer and demonstrably weakened their hand. Internally, the 27-year-old was already reserved because Portugal League is a totally different proposition than the Premier League, although he scored 39 competition goals last season.

Berta would also have other striker options in mind. If a deal for Sesko or Gyokees would not materialize, the prospect of a surprise name that enters the frame is a possibility.

Arsenal and Berta use the soft, soft approach not to be forced to pay the opportunities. It contrasts with its predecessor Edu, who would be zero on a single target.

Sources say that RB Leipzig is driving a hard bargain about Sesko because they know how desperate the gunners are for a striker and the limited availability of world -class frontmen in football today. And this explains the delay.

On the overall strategy, deals will accelerate next month that is in line with previous summer windows. In 2021, Arsenal Ben White signed on July 30 and Aaron Ramsdale on August 20. In 2022, Gabriel Jesus arrived on July 4 and Oleksandr Zinchenko followed in the same month. In 2023, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber signed on 15 and 14 July respectively. And when last year the Gunners brought in Riccardo Calafiori on July 29 and Mikel Merino on 27 August.

However, it is the panic signature of the Club van Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea on the Deadline Day of 30 August, so that fans still haunt and that they hope that the business community will not remain too late.

Berta and Arsenal are also proactive in securing the future of important players. Myles Lewis-Skelly, 18, who became a first team last season, signed a long-term contract last week and Gabriel Magalhaes also committed his future to the club. Arsenal also wants to tie Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, who both have two years left for their deals, and Ethan Nwaneri. Leandro Trossard has been in conversation via a new deal until 2029, as reported by Mail Sport.

With regard to expenditure, a number of margin players are intended for the exit. They include Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko, both of which earn more than £ 100,000 a week, Jakub Kiwior, Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga.

Steve Kell, who has been in the Arsenal Suporters Club Committee for more than 20 years, is not worried about the lack of activity. He says Mail Sport: ‘I am not in panic at all because the financial year and tax year for Arsenal starts from the 1st of next month.

‘It would be stupid to start doing transfers in last year’s financial year instead of waiting for this year’s budget when all financial fair play rules and everything else that goes with it.

‘It is Arsenal tuut enough to maximize their potential expenses by publishing at the right time. The delay is not a problem if this is for that reasons.

‘Of course, the longer they leave it, the more nervous the fans will be. But it also adds more muscles to Arsenal, the longer they leave it because it is a game of poker against the other clubs. ‘

Until the tent names are through the door, the pressure on Arsenal remains. But with deliberate goals, patience and important contract extensions, Berta and Co appear for a decisive summer.
