Arsenal may need to sell one of two stars to fund summer signings for a striker and winger, according to the Daily Mirror. Manager Mikel Arteta could part ways with either Leandro Trossard or Gabriel Martinelli to finance a squad overhaul. Both players have reportedly attracted interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, with Trossard, 30, entering the final year of his contract, and Martinelli struggling for form during an injury-plagued season.
Arteta is said to be planning a significant rebuild this summer, aiming to bring in a high-profile striker and winger. However, the club may need to offload players to complete their transfer plans, with defenders Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko also potentially deemed surplus to requirements.
While Arteta is reportedly a big fan of Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, a more realistic target could be RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko.
Arsenal are reportedly prioritizing a move for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, with Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo also on their radar as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
In midfield, Arsenal are said to be closing in on a summer deal for Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, as previously reported by Sky Sports News in January. The Spanish midfielder, who has been linked with Liverpool in the past, has a release clause of around £51 million. This potential move comes as Arsenal midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho approach the end of their contracts, leaving their futures uncertain
