Big transfer window confirmed by Mikel Arteta
Arsenal who are due to face Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Champions league are undergoing a serious forward deficiency due to injuries to most of the attack line. Bukayo Saka was injured in December but is now back in the training ground. But injuries to Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have seen the depleted squad struggle for success.
Considering this period, Arsenal will look to solidify their frontline and their midfield. Arsenal have been on the lookout for the perfect striker for quite some time now but after this season, they might just shell out good money for a superstar striker.

The appointment of Andrea Berta also indicates that some good signings will be made by the Gunners.
Now Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta also confirming, this might be the window to change Arsenal’s luck around.
Let’s look at some Attacking options that Arsenal are looking at-
1) Viktor Gyokeres– Arsenal would be willing to make an €80 million offer to sign Viktor Gyokeres in the summer window. The Sporting CP star emerged as one of the Gunners’ top striker targets in the past few days, with the club willing to invest big in the Swedish international.

Viktor Gyokeres has continued to have a goal-laden season with Sporting CP, following his exploits in the first campaign there. This term, the Swede has had a hand in 53 goals and assists for the Portuguese champions, who could be on course to winning back-to-back league titles.
2) Alexander Isak–
Isak has been the target for along time now but in a few day especially after the appointment of Berta, Gyokeres has come to the top of this list now. The Swede, of course, has a huge price tag. The Magpies are not at all interested in selling their star. But, they could be open to talks if the bid is around £130-150 million. Ede Howe’s side are preparing to offer him a new contract.
3) Jonathan David– The 25-year-old’s contract expires at the end of this season and there is no indication that he will pen an extension, so he’s set to be available on a free transfer.
From the Premier League, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City have all gathered information about David’s situation, while Newcastle are the latest club to express interest.
4) Hugo Ekitike–
Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool have all recently been credited with an interest in the red-hot 22-year-old, who netted an impressive hat-trick for France U21s against England during the international break.
5) Matheus Cunha–
As such, the consensus interpretation of what the player means by “I need to take the next step” is a move to another club. Arsenal are among the multiple Premier League clubs credited with an interest in the forward.
Arsenal did attempt to sign a new forward in January, but a bid for Ollie Watkins was rejected by Aston Villa while a loan swoop for AC Milan striker Alvaro Morata was considered before he made the move to Galatasaray.
