Arsenal are working hard in the transfer market to get some deals over the line, with several positions being targeted.

Martin Zubimendi is set to join the Gunners to help bolster the midfield, while talks are ongoing over the signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga.

With the midfield and backup goalkeeper situations dealt with, attention at Arsenal will turn towards the centre-forward ranks.

Beyond that, a left-wing option is on the cards, but Arsenal also want a right-wing signing this summer if the right player becomes available.

This could see Bukayo Saka given plenty of cover and competition for his place in the team for the coming season.

So, with that said, here’s a look at three right-wing options who Arsenal should look to sign this summer.

Right-wing transfer signings Arsenal should make

Bryan Mbeumo

The standout option available to Arsenal this summer is Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.

The 25-year-old has only got better with time in the Premier League, recently notching up 20 goals in a single season.

Mbeumo has been linked with Arsenal for some time, having shown his quality in the top division since he made the step up.

The Cameroonian international is relatively versatile, but largely plays on the right flank and would offer immediate competition for Saka.

Bradley Barcola

If Arsenal want to sign a player who covers both flanks well, then look no further than PSG winger Bradley Barcola.

Barcola could be available for transfer this summer, with plenty of interest pouring in for him in recent weeks, including that of the Gunners.

The 22-year-old has plenty of quality and is capable of featuring on the left wing and on the right if required.

With some potential for the future, Barcola could be a unique option for Arsenal.

Mohammed Kudus

Arsenal transfer target Mohammed Kudus is seemingly available this summer, as West Ham look set to move the Ghanaian international on.

Another versatile option, the 24-year-old is capable of playing on the right wing and as a number ten if required.

It wasn’t the easiest campaign for Kudus in 2024/25, with five goals and three assists in 32 appearances, but he has proven before that he is capable of some special things.
