Arsenal dream forward line if Dominic Solanke and 'incredible' Bukayo Saka backup sign

Arsenal could be set to revamp their whole frontline this summer, with several different options appearing in the transfer market.

The Gunners narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City, with two points separating the sides.

While Mikel Arteta oversaw a meaner defence – conceding just 29 goals – Pep Guardiola’s side scored more goals with 96 to Arsenal’s 91.

They’re fine margins to win and lose by, but it’s a gap that the north London outfit will be looking to address in the transfer market.

That could see several attacking options move to the Emirates Stadium before the end of the window this month.

So with that said, here’s a look at a potential dream forward line for Arsenal, featuring players who have been linked.

Arsenal dream forward transfers

While Arsenal already have plenty of options in the forward areas, some additions to the squad could help take them to the next level.

Centre-forward is an area of particular need, while a backup to Bukayo Saka on the right flank could help share the workload.

Dominic Solanke is a striker who has been linked with a transfer to Arsenal in recent days, amid plenty of speculation surrounding his future at Bournemouth.

A release clause worth £65million is believed to be in the 26-year-old’s contract, which could allow for a swift move.

The former Liverpool and Chelsea man scored 19 goals in 38 appearances for the Cherries last season which was his best return in the Premier League.

With a towering presence but a technically gifted skillset, Solanke isn’t your typical profile of tall strikers.

The England international would be more than comfortable playing under Arteta, potentially putting the centre-forward problem to rest.

Saka played 35 of last season’s 38 Premier League games, shaking off several injuries to make his way into the team at Arsenal.

While the 22-year-old is clearly a key player, sharing the minutes around to avoid injury may be the best move for him.

Few players would be able to offer the same level of quality as Saka while being able to play a more flexible role.

However, one star who could fit the bill is Wolves’ Pedro Neto, who has consistently shown his ability at the top level.

Arsenal have been linked with Neto for a long time, but injury concerns have often stopped a move from going through.

With shared minutes though, that risk is reduced for both the Portuguese star and Saka as they rotate matches.

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil previously described Neto as “incredible”, but has set a clear transfer stance that offers aren’t likely to be entertained.

It still isn’t out of the realm of possibility, though.

Should Solanke and Neto join, it would leave the forward line looking something like this for the season ahead:

That strength in depth could prompt some sales, but it would also be one of the strongest options around in the whole division.
