Arsenal chiefs are deliberating whether to make a move for one in-form star after his incredible start to the season, after he was personally identified by manager Mikel Arteta as a transfer target for 2025.
Arsenal looking at signing new striker next year
The fine form of Kai Havertz hasn’t stopped sporting director Edu Gaspar and the recruitment team from looking at new striking options for next year, despite eventually deciding not to sign one in the summer window.
The Gunners made a very well-documented attempt to prise away Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, making a proposal for the player alongside both Chelsea and Man United, but the 21-year-old rejected all of their offers to remain in the Bundesliga.
Amid concerns surrounding Gabriel Jesus, it is believed Edu and Arteta could look to rectify their decision not to sign a new number nine. Jesus is set for internal talks with Arsenal over his future, according to some reports, and if the £265,000-per-week forward does opt to part company, then Arteta will definitely need another striker.
“Gabriel Jesus is clearly struggling for confidence right now. You can see that by the way he’s playing. He’s thinking about things too much and taking too many touches when he’s in possession,” said reliable Arsenal journalist Charles Watts to CaughtOffside earlier this month.
