Manager Mikel Arteta personally selected the in-form star as a transfer target for 2025, and Arsenal executives are considering whether to make a move for him after his stellar start to the season.

Next year, Arsenal plans to hire a new striker.

Even though they ultimately decided not to purchase a striker during the summer transfer window, sporting director Edu Gaspar and the recruiting team are still considering fresh alternatives for next season despite Kai Havertz’s excellent play.

The Gunners made a well-known attempt to entice Benjamin Sesko away from RB Leipzig, offering the midfielder a deal with Chelsea and Manchester United. However, the 21-year-old turned down all of their proposals in order to stay in the Bundesliga.

It’s thought that Edu and Arteta would try to change their minds about not signing a new number nine in light of the Gabriel Jesus controversy. According to some reports, Jesus is scheduled to have internal discussions with Arsenal on his future. Should the £265,000-per-week forward decide to leave the team, Arteta will undoubtedly require another striker.

“Gabriel Jesus is obviously having confidence issues at the moment. His playing style makes that clear. Earlier this month, trustworthy Arsenal journalist Charles Watts told CaughtOffside, “He’s thinking about things too much and taking too many touches when he’s in possession.”

“Jesus acts spontaneously when he is at his best. His movements and pace of work cause mayhem. But at the moment, his play is more confusing than chaotic.

“I believe there’s a good chance that this will be his last season with the team.”

According to Spanish media outlets, Arsenal is ready to compete with Barcelona for Jhon Duran. The Colombian is having a great season so far, despite being heavily predicted to leave Aston Villa during the summer transfer window.

Sporting Lisbon star Viktor Gyokeres is another player who is frequently brought up as a possible target.

Arsenal is discussing Viktor Gyokeres’ transfer internally.

According to certain sources, Arsenal has discussed their pursuit of Gyokeres with his representatives in advance of January. GiveMeSport has provided an update on this.

According to the newspaper, Gyokeres is “being eyed” by Arteta himself, and Arsenal is internally discussing a move for the Swede. Gyokeres is a player that is highly considered by the Gunners manager and Edu as they collaborate closely to determine targets for the upcoming campaign.

In fact, it is also thought that scouts would be present to observe him during Sporting’s Champions League match against Man City on November 5. Pundit John Wenham has referred to the former Coventry City star as a potentially “exciting signing” for interested clubs. He has continued to play well from the previous season, scoring 13 goals in 13 games across all competitions thus far.
