Arsenal are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as they look to build a squad capable of challenging for major honours in the 2025/26 season. With at least £100 million available to spend, the Gunners have their sights set on several high-profile targets across key positions.
Top Targets on Arsenal’s Radar
1. Viktor Gyökeres – Striker (Sporting CP)
Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres. The 26-year-old has scored an incredible 95 goals in 100 games for Sporting CP and is seen as a perfect fit for Mikel Arteta’s attacking style. While his release clause stands at £85 million, reports suggest a deal could be done for around £60 million. Arsenal are also offering a contract worth over £200,000 per week.
2. Benjamin Šeško – Striker (RB Leipzig)
Another name high on Arsenal’s list is Benjamin Šeško. The 21-year-old Slovenian forward is valued at £62 million and has caught the eye with his performances in the Bundesliga. Arsenal view him as a long-term investment, though Gyökeres appears to be the more advanced option.
3. Rodrygo Goes – Winger (Real Madrid)
With increasing competition at Real Madrid, Brazilian winger Rodrygo could be on the move. Arsenal are one of several clubs interested in the 23-year-old, who might be available for around €100 million despite having a staggering €1 billion release clause. He would add flair and depth to the Gunners’ attack.
4. Nico Williams – Winger (Athletic Bilbao)
Arsenal are also tracking Spain international Nico Williams. The pacey winger has a €58 million release clause and is being considered to add depth and competition alongside Bukayo Saka on the flanks.
5. Martin Zubimendi – Midfielder (Real Sociedad)
A deal for Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly close to completion. The 25-year-old is seen as a long-term solution in midfield, especially with the expected departures of Jorginho and Thomas Partey. His release clause is set at £51 million.
