Premier League
Arsenal's priority is to sign an attacker in the upcoming transfer window, with Antonio Nusa as the key target to add a top-level resource. The next Arsenal signing will be a top-tier forward at the request of Mikel Arteta.
According to CaughtOffside, the Gunners' board is acting on the requests of coach Mikel Arteta, who is seeking a winger for the left side after spending 227 million euros on signings like Bruno Guimarães, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapié, and Christos Tzolis during the summer transfer window.
Arteta's Priorities for Arsenal's Left Side
The 21-year-old forward has become Mikel Arteta's top choice to increase speed and one-on-one unpredictability. Arsenal's technical staff already inquired about the Norwegian international's transfer in the summer market and is preparing a new formal economic proposal to persuade the German club's board before the start of the year.
As a second option, 21-year-old Kenan Yildiz is considered, although the London hierarchy acknowledges the difficulty of the operation due to the demands of Juventus and the interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Secondary Alternatives Considered by the Sporting Department
Behind the two main targets, the British club's sports management is evaluating Arda Güler, 21, at Real Madrid, Julián Álvarez, 26, at Atlético Madrid, and Eli Junior Kroupi, 20, at Bournemouth. However, Arsenal's leadership believes that the valuations set by their respective clubs place them out of reach for the winter transfer window.
The club's strategic priority is to secure a specialist for the left wing, without ruling out the arrival of a center-forward if a previous departure from the squad materializes.
Feasibility to Conduct the Transfer in January
Arsenal's board is analyzing the salary structure to accommodate a new financial investment without compromising the Premier League's Financial Fair Play. After spending 227 million euros in the summer, the executives are confident in negotiating with Leipzig through an installment payment plan.
Coach Mikel Arteta deems the winger's arrival indispensable to maintain the team's aspirations in the Champions League knockout stages.
Arsenal's emissaries will hold meetings with Antonio Nusa's agents during the November 2026 international break.
If a personal agreement is reached with Antonio Nusa, Arsenal will move forward to make an offer and reach an agreement with RB Leipzig.
